Garnish and Rim:
- Red sanding sugar or red corn syrup (for rim)

Instructions
- Coat the martini glass rim with a thin layer of corn syrup, then carefully roll the edge in vibrant red sanding sugar, creating a dramatic crimson border.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with crisp vodka and luscious raspberry liqueur, adding several ice cubes to chill the mixture intensely.
- Vigorously shake the liquid components until the shaker feels frosty and the ingredients are thoroughly blended and icy cold.
- Delicately strain the ruby-hued cocktail into the prepared glass, allowing the liquid to cascade smoothly without disturbing the sugared rim.
- Gently pour sparkling champagne over the surface, creating a luxurious layered effect and enhancing the drink’s effervescence.

Notes
- Rim sugar trick works best when the corn syrup or water is chilled, creating a more even and precise sugar coating.
- Use fresh, high-quality vodka and raspberry liqueur for the most vibrant and authentic flavor profile.
- For a dramatic vampire-themed presentation, consider adding a single drop of red food coloring to create a blood-like effect in the drink.
- Chill the martini glass beforehand to keep the cocktail cold longer and enhance the overall drinking experience.
