    Where do you find blood bags for cocktails?

    I got these blood bags on Amazon, but there are plenty of other IV bag options to try as well.

    Blood Bag Cocktail Ingredients

    • Orange soda: I used Fanta but any brand of orange soda will work.
    • Pineapple juice: Adds a tropical flavor to the drink.
    • Vodka: I used Tito’s but you can use your favorite brand of vodka.
    • Cranberry juice: This will give it that bright blood color and any brand will work.

    How to Make Blood Bag Cocktails

    Add pineapple juice, vodka, cranberry juice, and Fanta to a large pitcher. Stir until combined.

    Add the labels to each blood bag. Using a large syringe or small funnel, fill each blood bag with red cocktail.

    Close off with straw lock and serve over ice.

    Helpful Tips and Variations

    • Change up the color for different themes such as a Black cocktail for Addams Family or vampire.
    • Make it kid friendly by omitting the alcohol and filling the pouches with fruit punch, cranberry juice of any kind of red juice.
    • Add a few drops of red food coloring for a darker red color.
