Equipment

medicine syringes
16 oz. clear glass cups or heavy clear plastic cups

Materials

2 Liters Clear Lemon Lime Flavored Soda such as Sprite
1.6 oz. Cherry Kool-Aid liquid concentrate the concentrated stuff or GRENADINE SRYUP
Ice Cubes enough to pack each glass or cup

Instructions

Squeeze some of the concentrated Kool-Aid into a bowl
Fill medicine syringes - each with about 2 ml. of Kool-Aid
Fill cups with ice
Pour soda into individual glasses that are
full of ice
Place fangs on top of the ice, or drape them over the side of the cup
Give out syringes of Kool-Aid concentrate or Grenadine - 1 per glass of soda filled with 2 ml. of kool-aid or syrup
The kids shouldn't have to squeeze the syringes of Kool-Aid into their drinks. They should be able to just stick the syringe of Kool-Aid into the drink. The Sprite should actually pull the Kool-aid out of the syringe all on its own. They can just sit back and watch as the Kool-Aid makes its way down through the crevices of the stacked ice giving a very bloody effect

Notes

Can I Make This Drink Ahead of Time?

Not really. It's a drink that you should prepare while everyone is at the party and hopefully watching. Think about it like serving drinks at a bar. The bartender would do it one at a time and right in front of you.

However, you can prepare the syringes of bloody syrup ahead of time

What Can I Put in the syringe in place of concentrated Kool-Aid?

I know that you can use Grenadine syrup and have the same look and maybe even a better-tasting Shirley Temple. In theory, you should also be able to use maraschino cherry juice

Can I Turn this into an Adult Beverage and use alcohol?

I have not tested it with alcohol, but you can certainly try it. I would use a cranberry-flavored Sprite, some clear vodka, and Grenadine syrup as a good start to a fun adult Vampire drink

Note

*Eventually, after seeing your cool drink transform before your eyes, most of the Kool-Aid will spread throughout the soda and the soda will take on a layered look. Amazingly, some of the soda will still stay separated from the Kool-Aid. The top half will probably turn a blush color, then red, then clear. The drink starts to combine as you move it around. If you let the drink sit, it will happen more gradually. I timed my drink which was sitting on the counter, for about 1/2 hour and it was still not mixed entirely. That cool definition was still there. The Kool-Aid and soda mixed together taste delicious - kind of like a Shirley Temple.
