This fun Halloween beverage uses lemon-lime soda, cherry Kool-Aid concentrate, and ice to create a dramatic bloody effect. Kids insert a syringe filled with red syrup into their drink, and the carbonation pulls the color out, making it look like real blood seeping through the ice.

Directions

Pour some of the cherry Kool-Aid liquid concentrate into a small bowl.

Fill plastic medicine syringes with about 2 ml of the concentrate each.

Pack each glass or cup with ice cubes.

Pour the lemon-lime soda into the ice-filled glasses.

Place vampire fangs on top of the ice or drape them over the rim of the cup.

Give each child one syringe filled with 2 ml of Kool-Aid concentrate or grenadine syrup per glass of soda.

Kids should simply insert the syringe tip into the drink without squeezing; the carbonation will naturally draw the red concentrate out, creating a bloody effect as it seeps through the ice.
