This inventive drink takes its inspiration from The Walking Dead, because everyone knows that the only chance to beat zombie infection is to swap out your blood for booze.

2 cocktails

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces bourbon
  • 2 ounces Cognac
  • 1 ounce Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
  • 1 ounce Crème Yvette liqueur

  • 3 drops organic red food coloring
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Lemon wheels or raspberries for garnish

Method

To an IV bag (available at medical supply stores) or a pitcher, add ice, along with the bourbon, Cognac, Ancho Reyes, Crème Yvette, lemon juice, raspberry liqueur, red food coloring, and Angostura bitters.
