Step by step
Blood sample shots for kids
Mix syrup and water
Pour 55 g of water and 10 g of blueberry syrup into a Bowl. Blueberry gives a lovely dark note, but you can also use any other Syrup.
Add glucose syrup and cocoa
Add 80 g of Glucose syrup and 2 tsp of sweetened Cocoa powder. The Glucose syrup makes the mixture thick like real blood, while the cocoa gives that dark, realistic tone.
Glucose syrup - 375g
Airbrush color strawberry red, 250 g
Black cocoa powder, 1kg
Silicone measuring cup 1 litre with pouring spout
Colour it blood red
Add 6 drops of liquid red Airbrush color and stir everything well until you get an even, deep blood red.
Fill the test tubes
Pour the fake blood into a Measuring cup with a spout. This way you can fill the narrow test tubes cleanly and without any drips.

Blood sample shots for adults
Mix rum, Glucose syrup and cocoa
For the adults, simply replace the water and Syrup with 65 g of rum. Then add 80 g of Glucose syrup and 2 tsp of sweetened Cocoa powder. Of course, you can also choose another alcohol to your taste.

So they turn out perfectly every time
If you offer both versions, use different labels or put them on separate trays. That way nobody grabs the wrong one among your Halloween drinks.
The secret lies in the combination: Glucose syrup for the sticky consistency, cocoa for the depth and Airbrush colour for the bright red. Add the colour drop by drop until you like the tone, and you get realistic fake blood.
Place the test tubes in a rack or in a glass with ice cubes. That way your Halloween shots look like a little chamber of horrors and stay pleasantly cool.
Frequently asked questions
Yes! We chose blueberry syrup because it is nice and dark. Raspberry, cherry or grenadine work just as well and enhance the blood red even more.
Of course. Rum goes wonderfully with the cocoa, but you can swap it for vodka or a liqueur however you like.
Yes, you can fill the shots a few hours before the party and keep them sealed in the fridge. Just before serving, give them a gentle shake in case the cocoa has settled.
