Ingredients

For the Mocktail Base

3 oz 100% Pomegranate Juice Provides a tart, fruity essence; substitute with cranberry juice for a unique twist.
2 oz Lyre's American Malt Non-alcoholic bourbon that imparts a rich, smoky flavor; explore other zero-proof bourbons for variations.
0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice Adds brightness and acidity; freshly squeezed yields the best results.
0.5 tsp Luxardo Cherry Syrup Delivers authentic sweetness and a decadent cherry taste; preferable over standard maraschino syrup for flavor integrity.

For the Fizzy Finish

1 oz Chilled Cola Adds sweetness and carbonation; consider diet or low-sugar options for a lighter version.
1 oz Chilled Club Soda Provides effervescence without changing flavor; tonic water can serve as a fun substitute.

For the Garnish

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Vampire’s Kiss Cocktail

In a cocktail shaker, pour 3 oz of 100% pomegranate juice, 2 oz of Lyre's American Malt, ½ oz of freshly squeezed lime juice, and ½ tsp of Luxardo cherry syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, ensuring they completely cover the liquid to chill it effectively.
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until the shaker feels cold to the touch.
Remove the lid from the shaker and strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice.
Gently pour 1 oz of chilled cola and 1 oz of chilled club soda over the strained cocktail.
Finish your Vampire's Kiss Cocktail with a sprig of rosemary as a garnish.
