A Vampire's Kiss for Your Halloween

Happy Friday!

What are your plans for the weekend?

I need to get caught up on some blog stuff, so I think I may sneak out and work for a few hours.

I know that I’m going to need this drink that I’m showing you today.

I’m starting my Halloween Drink series, so things are about to get really spooky!

When I was trying to name this drink, I had the nerdiest thought that I have had in awhile.  My friends and have been reading a book and the name of the scary and bad character is Amarantha.  She has hair of a deep red and the color just reminded me of her.  But I figured that not many people would get the reference.

This drink is the color of blood, as if it dripped into the glass slowly, taken from the vampire who has haunted your dreams.

Spooky…

The Vampire’s Kiss tastes of blackberries and rum, a deadly combination.

You only need one of these to lose yourself into a world that is not your own.
