My last night was unforgettable! I had the best fake bloodbag drink I’ve ever tasted. It was a simple recipe but the end result was delicious!
The first step was to take one part cherry soda, one-third part cranberry juice, one-third part orange juice, and then mix it all together in a large pitcher. I also added a few tablespoons of grenadine for a nice, deep red color. The mix was sweet, slightly tart, and had a nice froth to it thanks to the cranberry and orange juice.
Next, I took plastic bloodbag ice trays and filled them mostly full with the fake blood mix. I set them in the freezer overnight so they would be nice and solid. Then, after dinner, I took the bags out of the freezer and filled each one up with the drink. They looked and tasted so realistic, like I was actually drinking a bloodbag!
Topping off the effect, I added a little extra decorative flare by slipping some fake straws into the filled bags. Everyone absolutely loved them – and no one suspected the yummy secret I was hiding. We all drank them like vampires, of course, adding to the illusion.
This was an experience like no other. I guess you could say I had a party with a tinge of horror – just the way I like it. In one possible future, I can imagine hosting a Halloween party every year where I serve these fake bloodbags as a gorgeous, unique centerpiece.
Another option I’m considering is using the same recipe with big red balloons. It would the same effect as the blood bags but instead of drinking a chilled liquid drink, everyone will get to enjoy a freshly popped balloon!
I also thought it may be interesting to incorporate the fake bloodbags into some kind of cooking or baking. I could make a cake with the fake blood mixture or drizzle it over some desserts to give them a creepy look. I’m definitely tempted to try this out.
These would all be great options for Halloween parties or just having a spooky fun time. I’m curious what other recipes people can come up with using the fake blood mixture. Maybe someone can think of a great dip or a cocktail? Or come up with another way of serving it that will be the talk of the town!
At the end of the day, the recipe for a fake bloodbag drink can be used in so many creative ways. But I think the main things to keep in mind are; yummy flavor, realistic look, and plenty of fun!
