Today, we are at the bar with Julian. He’s sexy, has lots of attitude
and would do just about anything to have Ella at his side.
ROLE
Vampire, Ella’s ex-lover and sire
FAVORITE
QUORE/SCENE (this
one is R rated folks…)
“After I kill the hunter, I’ll fuck
you in his blood, make you lick it off my cock. You always did like it rough.”
PREFERRED
BEVERAGE
Blood, Female O Neg
Alexander Skarsgard (I know, I
know…he’s taken by Sookie. He’s just so damn sexy!)
CHARACTER INSPIRED COCKTAIL/SHOOTER
Vampire Blood Martini—The sweet tart pomegranate flavor combined with the fresh citrus taste of blood oranges gives the cocktail a beautiful deep red color and a delicious bite. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and a sugar coated slice of blood orange. I’ve also included two different ways to “decorate” your martini glass for added effect.
VAMPIRE
BLOOD MARTINI
1.5 oz vodka
1.5 oz pomegranate juice
1.5 oz blood orange juice (1 freshly
squeezed blood orange)
1 tablespoon agave syrup
1 lime wedge
Mix all ingredients in martini shaker
with ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds and pour into chilled martini glass
(don’t forget to dampen the rim of your glass and dip it in decorative red
sugar crystals). Squeeze in lime wedge. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and
sugar coated blood orange slice. Voila!
Alternate idea…instead of using red
sugar crystals—try this method for a dripping blood effect.
1 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Karo Syrup
1/2 c. Water
Red Food Coloring
1/2 c. Karo Syrup
1/2 c. Water
Red Food Coloring
Candy thermometer (can be found at
most grocery stores)
Combine sugar, syrup and water. Cook
without stirring to hard crack stage – which is 300 degrees F. Add food
coloring to desired color. Turn off heat. While the mixture is still hot, dunk
the top of the cocktail glass into the mixture to create the red rim. If you
need to do several glasses, keep the mixture hot so it lasts longer (instead of
turning heat off, just reduce slightly).You can go anywhere from just along the
very tip of the rim to part way down the glass – whichever you prefer. Flip the
glass right side up to cool. The thick consistency of the mixture will cause
“drips” as it hardens on the glass!
As a half-breed vampire, Ella Grey’s
life sucks. She does her best to pass the time killing demons and secretly
admiring her Shadow Hunter partner, Micah. He’s hot, dangerous and knows it.
He’d be just Ella’s type if he weren’t likely to kill her the moment she put a
toe out of line.
A chance encounter with a succubus
changes everything. From the second the succubus’s spell washes over them, Ella
and Micah are helpless to keep their hands off one another. The sex, when it’s
not leaving them on the verge of death, is earth shattering and for the first
time in ages Ella is connected with someone on a level she’d feared lost
forever. But a dangerous prophecy has been set into motion, and if Ella’s not
careful it’ll pull her straight from Micah’s arms and into the deepest bowels of the underworld.
A Romantica® Paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
