I love pomegranates and pomegranate juice so I was utterly excited when I knew I was going to be able to make a pomegranate drink because of the cover of this book. I wanted to do a twist on a traditional cosmo and make a pomegranate version of it and it turned out to be very tasty. It’s a little rich because of the intensity of the pomegranate juice so I have an alternative addition that can be added if it’s a little too heavy in the juice. Overall, this one is very yummy and looks just like the blood a vampire drinks so with that drink up!

Ingredients
3oz Pomegranate Juice
1oz vodka
½ oz triple sec
½ lime 
A few pomegranate seeds
ice
Step one: Cut a pomegranate and take a few seeds and place in bottom of a chilled martini glass
Step two: Measure out pomegranate juice, vodka and triple sec then combine with ice in shaker
Step three: Use a hand juicer to juice half a lime into the shaker
Step four: Shake until shaker is cold to the touch and ingredients are thoroughly mixed
Step five: Strain into the martini glass and serve immediately
​Optional addition: If the pomegranate juice is too strong top with a little bit of club soda to give it a fizzy twist!

Take a Shot: By now Twilight has been a best selling book series, an international blockbuster movie franchise and a cult classic to many. Since the story of Bella and Edward began in 2005 their endeavors have been inspiration for parodies, fan-fiction and memes alike. However, now 15 years later the Twi-hards have a brand new installment with Midnight Sun. This novel follows the events of the first book, Twilight, entirely from Edward’s perspective. After the original version of this story was leaked and Meyers simply published the few chapters on her website, many thought that was the end of our journey into Edward’s head. Meyers thankfully was not done with this story and released the completed novel this year. I don’t want to give too much away especially since most people already know the story anyway, but I will say read all of Twilight before reading Midnight Sun. This is mainly because that’s how we all (I myself am a Twi-hard so that’s who we implies) had to do it and plus it helps with consistency of understanding the perspective of Bella solely in her words and then understanding Edward’s in retrospect.
