Dracula’s Blood: A Halloween drink to die for

Posted by Edward Mugarian in Halloween Food & Drink on May 7th, 2019

We’ve read Bram Stoker’s classic novel. We’ve seen the countless films. Now we can, metaphorically, find out why Count Dracula is the way he is.

Dracula’s Blood is a classic Halloween drink that every lover of this spook-tacular time of year should enjoy. It’s simple to make, and even simpler to sip. Even Dr. Van Helsing probably couldn’t resist. So, invite over a casket full of your favorite fiends…and enjoy!
