Neither the book nor the movie give the recipe for a vodka blush, but the implication is that the "blush" is human blood. The recipe here was made up out of thin air.

Actually, not to be a nitpicker, but I think the character's name was Roman Castevet; I remember because Rosemary had to make an anagram of the name Stephen Marcado and that's what she came up with. But it's easy to get confused, because the movie also starred John Casavettes, and that surname is pretty similar. These vodka blush's are delicious by the way, but since they're pretty much straight booze, consider their high octane aspect and serve with appetizers. -
I absolutely adore this hilarious macabre classic! This vodka blush is delicious and just as I imagined it would be! I felt like Ruth Gordon was there!!! -
Love this cocktail. It is the forerunner of the Cosmo
