Break free from traditional theories of vampires. The Twilight Saga book and film series deviates from the long held presumption that vampires shy away from strands of garlic and the aura of a cross held before them. A wooden stakes nailed through the heart will not render them dead to the world, they still have reflections and they roam the earth in broad daylight. In Twilight the vampire world lives among humans bearing half breed children, fighting wars among each other and some resisting the urge to dine on the blood of human flesh better than others. Just as is the case with the characters of The Twilight Saga breaking tradition of typical vampires, some party goers in the real world choose to decline alcoholic drinks and prefer non-alcoholic cocktails instead. Mocktails are the new fashion statement much the same as The Twilight Saga is all the rage among teenagers and adults who love vampire novels and are into dressing the part for Halloween this season. A walk through seasonal aisles gives clue to the popularity of ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ Halloween costumes and Halloween parties this year. The photo drink recipe slideshow below explores the realm of Twilight with original Mocktail drink recipes for those who wish to celebrate the Halloween season with non-alcoholic festive libations. The Mocktails reference characters and plot twists from The Twilight Saga series such as Bella Swan and her Transformation, Jacob Black with his Shape-Shifting werewolf persona, Carlisle Cullen’s doctoring skills and family head Coven and Esme Cullen’s gift of Esme Isle where Bella Swan and Edward Cullen spent their Honeymoon. More vampire themed Halloween drink recipes may easily be found in the Halloween Drink Recipe & Party Idea Guide which contains 80 plus spooky drink recipes for the holiday and is updated daily.

Hi there. Just a thought...for those who may not have read the final book yet (like myself), perhaps don't reference things that do end up happening or at LEAST put a "Spoiler Alert" before you launch into things. At least two major surprises have been ruined for me now, which is a little disappointing. :(
Hi Amanda. My apologies for spoiling any part of the book for you. Not my intent at all. There is so much information out on the internet everywhere about Twilight it is hard to miss. Even more so with the movie coming out (next month I believe). Good luck dodging all the hype. - Cheri
Here's a thought, Amanda. Suck it up. It's all sorts of predictable. If you don't want to know, don't read.
