🕯️ Instructions

Step 1 (1 min):
Fill your shaker with ice, then add vodka, blood orange juice, triple sec, and lemon juice.

Step 2 (1 min):
Shake well for about 15 seconds until chilled.

Step 3 (30s):
Pour grenadine into the martini glass first—it will sink to the bottom.

Step 4 (30s):
Slowly strain the shaken mixture on top to create a red-to-orange “sunset” gradient effect.

Step 5 (optional, 30s):
Garnish with a blood orange slice or a fun candy eyeball for Halloween vibes.

⚠️ Tips & Notes

• To enhance the gradient, pour the top layer gently over a spoon.

• Use fresh blood oranges for a deeper red hue and natural sweetness.

• For a spooky twist, rim the glass with black sugar or activated charcoal salt.
