In case you guys are in the greater Seattle/PNW, my little Pia and I are doing a segment on New Day Northwest today (Thursday the 16th!) at 11AM. We are talking Halloween with a Caramel Apple Bar, Punch, kid friendly treats and lots of crafts. I will post the video later today here too!

One of the things I am going to make on tv today (these are not kid friendly obviously) are these Bloody Torture Shots. (Coco named them by the way- and no she did not sample them first!) Then I thought it was a funny and appropriate name, because you could have far too many of them and then you would have bloody torture the next day…

Bloody Torture Shots

So anyways, they make these really cool specialty ice cube/shot glasses that become solid ice and keep your shots ICY cold and perfect. I found them in my local Metropolitan Market grocery store, but I found similar here and here too.

Bloody Torture Shots

Then I had to come up with a delicious red cocktail to put inside of them.

Bloody Torture Shots

….and YUM!!!!! A perfect #ThirstyThursday if you ask me….
