Add the Viniq Original to the glass. The shimmer in this unique liqueur really makes this drink spectacular! Perhaps the color makes you think "grape flavored", but it's actually a lightly peachy taste made with moscato wine.

Add the vodka, then using an eyeball cocktail pick, stir well, and serve! I like to drip a little extra edible blood down the sides of the glass, as an added touch of terrible.
