Tips and tricks for making the perfect bloody vampire milkshakes
- Chill your glasses. This will help keep your milkshake cool for longer and will also make your fake blood drip more slowly down the sides of your glass.
- Add some extra fun toppings. Little white chocolate skulls or vampire teeth are adorable. Red or black sprinkles look great too. You can even dot the top with some gummy fake eyeballs or brains for an extra creep factor.
- Tweak the ice cream to milk ratio to suit your preferences. For an extra thick milkshake add more ice cream and less milk. For a thinner milkshake reduce the ice cream amount and add more milk. Just bear in mind that the more ice cream you add the sweeter your milkshake will end up.
