I wasn’t sure what to call this post exactly. It’s not a “makeover” because it was never “made”. But it is fresh and functional! I’ve left our laundry room mostly unfinished at our last two builds. One-budget. Two-to have a chance to use the space and see exactly what I need. This is where this […]

Fang-tastic Cocktail
Just finished up the first season of True Blood on dvd and I am addicted! Also, super excited about New Moon next month. With both of these and Halloween right around the corner, I've got fangs on the brain. This cocktail is perfect for Halloween, True Blood or New Moon parties.
I love Effen Vodka. If you like black cherry flavor without the sweetness you will love it too.

- 1/2 oz grenadine
- cola
- maraschino cherries for garnish
Preparation:

Oooh…this looks tasty! My friends and I all love True Blood so this year for Halloween we decided to have a True Blood Themed Party instead of the regular ‘ol Haunted Halloween Party. I’m going to have to make some of these drinks for it!
My friend who’s hosting it got a lot of ideas from Celebrations, if you’re interested in taking a gander. Here’s the URL to the article: http://www.celebrations.com/article/True-Blood-Halloween-Party.
There are some cocktail recipes on there that we’re making for our party as well. Each recipe feature the show’s official drink “Tru Blood.” I’ve tried two already and they were delish!
Thanks for sharing this!
