Rim the glass with corn syrup with a small spatula, a toothpick or your finger. Set aside.

Add the salt, sugar or sprinkles to a saucer.

Upend each corn syrup-rimmed glass onto the saucer and gently turn so the salt or sugar sticks to the glass. Turn glass gently to help coat. (See photos.)

Add ice cubes to each glass.

Add 3 oz of red grapefruit juice to each glass

Gently layer in 1 ½ oz of black vodka by dribbling the black vodka over the bar spoon.

Upon serving, tell your guests to agitate the ice with a finger or a cocktail straw to blend the layers and combine the flavors.
