QUENCH YOUR VAMPIRE THIRST WITH A BOTTLE OF TRU BLOOD

For those not familiar with the drink, Tru Blood is the preferred synthetic blood drink of integrated vampires in HBO's Alan Ball series True Blood. Now, come September, we fans can have a taste of what keeps the fangers from violating us humans.

"The blood-orange carbonated drink has a slightly tart and lightly sweet flavor that is sure to taste better than the O negative blood consumed by the show's fictional vampires. Crafted to replicate the appearance of the synthetic blood beverage preferred by the undead in the series, the real-life drink will also be called Tru Blood."

Ball introduced the beverage at Comic-Con, the NYDN reports: "[Ball] joked that the drink was a mixture of 'wine, vodka, Vicodin, Viagra and Ecstasy' and that it was 'completely illegal.'" Well if it had all that in Tru Blood, count me in! That's my kind of drink. Check out EW's Michael Ausiello's interview with Alan Ball above.

Tru Blood will cost $16 for a four-pack. Now all I need is Sam Merlotte to serve me a few bottles (maybe I can even take a bath in it) butt naked and all will be well in the world.
