Vampire Bite Cocktail Recipe - Low Sugar

Directions

Zest and juice lemons (you'll need about 1 tablespoon of zest and 2 oz of lemon juice)
In a small pan on medium heat, add your heaping handful of berries, 1 oz of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and ½ tablespoon Purecane™ Spoonable Canister. Heat until it just bubbles up (about 3-5 minutes). Allow the mixture to cool slightly, becoming a jam-like consistency. You can puree in the blender, or use a hand mixer or fork to mash the berries to the desired consistency.
Once cool, reserve about a ½ tablespoon of raspberry jam to decorate the rim of the glass to look like fake blood. (SPOOKY!)
In a cocktail shaker, mix all of your ingredients (jam, vodka, triple sec, and the remaining 1 oz of lemon juice) with some ice. Shake vigorously.
Serve in a martini glass. Optional: add fake vampire teeth and/or other spooky Halloween decor!
Enjoy!
