Vampire Shots

A fun way to show off to your party guests at your next Halloween Party is to serve these vampire shots in prosecco or champagne. These bloody syringes are filled with raspberry jam that we made with fresh raspberries and sugar. If you are doing a themed party, a popular alternative to jello shots are these non-alcoholic raspberry syringes. It is a great way for both adults and kids to have fun. The kids can have the vampire shot in lemon-lime soda, and for the adults these are a great addition to a shot of vodka, or a flute of prosecco or champagne.

We got our syringes at Michaels Craft store. Look for these regular syringes in party stores, like party city. You can also find even larger syringes [eafl id=”12137″ name=”Syringes for Vampire Shots” text=”HERE”]

Can I make these with store bought raspberry jam?

Of course! You know I am extra, and had to make the raspberry vampire blood from fresh raspberries. However, you can totally purchase seedless raspberry jam, and slightly warm it to thin it a bit. It works perfectly!
