Blood On The Dancefloor: Bold, Dramatic and Deliciously Dark

If you’re looking to make a serious statement with your next serve, look no further than the Blood On The Dancefloor. This show-stopping cocktail brings together the zesty tang of blood orange gin with the bold, spicy fizz of Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger Tonic, creating a drink that’s as theatrical as it is tasty. Finished with a blood-red grenadine drip and a slice of blood orange, this cocktail is made for dramatic nights and unforgettable sips.

The heart of the Blood On The Dancefloor is a punchy 50ml pour of blood orange gin — bright, citrusy and slightly bittersweet. It’s perfectly matched with Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger, a mixer that brings a bold edge with its tart cranberry kick and warming ginger spice. Together, they create a vibrant, layered drink with a refreshing effervescence and just the right amount of bite.

Why We Love It

This cocktail doesn’t just taste incredible — it looks amazing too. The grenadine “blood” drizzle down the inside of the glass creates a striking visual that’s perfect for Halloween parties, themed events, or any time you want to impress. The combination of blood orange, cranberry and ginger offers a beautifully complex flavour profile: tart, spicy, citrusy, and just a little sultry. It’s a high-impact drink that’s deceptively easy to make.

Perfect For…

Blood On The Dancefloor is the ultimate cocktail for after-dark gatherings — think moody lighting, great music, and a little glamour. Serve it at Halloween events, dinner parties, or cocktail nights where the brief is “bold and unforgettable.” It’s also ideal for anyone who prefers their drinks with a twist of theatre — no mixology degree required, just a spoon and a splash of grenadine.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Double Dutch Cranberry & Ginger is the perfect partner for blood orange gin. The sharp cranberry cuts through the sweetness of the citrus, while the ginger adds a warming, spicy finish that lingers beautifully. The natural carbonation brings a light, crisp mouthfeel, lifting the drink and making it as refreshing as it is flavourful.

Top Tips for Serving

  • Use a large rocks or highball glass: The more vertical surface, the better the grenadine ‘drip’ effect.
  • Pour grenadine slowly over a spoon: This helps it slide down the sides of the glass for maximum drama.
  • Don’t skip the blood orange slice: It ties the whole look (and flavour) together perfectly.

Striking, flavour-packed, and just a little mysterious, the Blood On The Dancefloor is a cocktail that knows how to turn heads. Whether you’re hosting or toasting, it’s the perfect way to bring a little edge — and a lot of flavour — to your night.
