Barnabas Collins

1 ½ to 2 oz. Vampyre Vodka
1 oz. Blood Orange Juice
1 shot (1 ½ oz) Sweet and Sour
3 oz soda water

Mix in a Highball Collins glass with ice like any other Collins. Alternatively, the Sweet n’ Sour,
Simple Syrup and soda water can be substituted with approx. 4 ounces of Collins Mix. The blood orange gives it a more suitable flavor as well.

Yes, the Barnabas Collins is a Vodka Collins made with Vampyre Vodka (vodka with a lot of red food dye). Can't find Vampyre Vodka? Here is an alternate recipe:

½ oz lemon juice
1 shot Vodka (Vampyre Vodka optional)
1 ½ oz Torani or Monin Blood Orange Syrup
Seltzer Water

For those who are too young to remember, Barnabas Collins was a character on the 1960s Soap Opera Dark Shadows, a vampire from the late 18th century.
