Devil’s BloodCocktail recipe
Rating
Devil’s Blood is an enticing cocktail with a bold name that suggests a thrilling adventure for the palate. The concoction harmonizes the clear, clean taste of vodka with the herbal and anise-flavored depth of Jagermeister and the warmth of spiced rum.
This is balanced by the fruitiness of apple schnapps and accented by the sweet pomegranate notes of grenadine, adding both color and a hint of sweetness to each sip. Served in a cocktail glass, this blend delivers a complex flavor profile that is both mysterious and inviting, perfect for those looking to explore a more intense and fiery side of mixology.

Cocktail Colin says:
Devil’s Blood masterfully combines the robust flavors of Jagermeister and spiced rum with the softer notes of apple schnapps, creating a complex yet harmonious flavor profile that beckons the adventurous drinker. The addition of a dash of grenadine not only lends a visually appealing deep red hue but also introduces a subtle sweetness that perfectly counterbalances the potent herbal and spiced undertones, making every sip both a mystery and a revelation.
