Notes
A finished Vampire's Kiss Cocktail is best served immediately because the sparkling wine will gradually lose its bubbles. The vodka, cranberry juice, raspberry liqueur, and simple syrup can be mixed together and stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 to 2 days. Shake the mixture with ice and add the sparkling wine and garnishes just before serving.
