Welcome to Dead Eats: Recipes Inspired by The Walking Dead. Myself and Dionne of Try Anything Once joined forces to share our obsessive love of all things TWD. We’re hosting a week long event sharing recipes from our favourite TV Show, The Walking Dead.

This week is shaping up to be so much fun. We’ve been whipping up recipes inspired by The Walking Dead and having a blast doing it. There’s been lots of giggling going on when me and Dionne send each other notes and photos of what we’re making. I mean how can anyone not have fun while making recipes inspired by their favourite TV show.

I’ve been watching old episodes like crazy. I’m not sure if I told you this already, but I’ve seen all the seasons 15 times now. I watch it obsessively. One of the perks of working from home is I can have the TV playing in the background while I work. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but it’s certainly an enjoyable thing!

I’m watching Season Two again right now. The one where Rick and Shane fight. Wait? They fight in every episode, don’t they? Okay, let’s clarify. It’s the one where they get in a fistfight over whether to leave Randall at the school, 18 Miles Out. I think this is the episode where I realized how much foreshadowing goes on in the show.

The scene where Shane sees himself in the window gets me every time. You know what’s coming down the road. Which worries me for future episodes. I mean when Glenn with the bat scenes, I can barely take it. I adore the character and want him to stick around for a long, long time. Pizza boy turned superhero, he’s a great character.

I think at this point everyone knows my favourite character is Daryl. I can’t help myself. There’s something about the redneck with a heart of gold that just sucks you right into the story. I did not expect to get this hooked on a TV show. I’ve never been this obsessed with a show before. I blame Daryl. Completely.

I know right. If you’re going to have a cocktail, you’re going to share it with Daryl. I know I would. And did. Or least I did in my head. One day maybe I’ll share a drink with him for real. A girl has to dream. Big.

This drink is super easy to make. Perfect for a Walking Dead Party. Or a Halloween Party. Or just class it up a little and serve it for Thanksgiving or Christmas. This is one I make often. It’s very similar to my Pomegranate Punch.

Course: Drinks
Cuisine: American
Author: Kim Beaulieu
Ingredients
  • 1 750 ml bottle of wine, I used Merlot
  • 2 cups pomegranate juice
  • 1/4 cup Cointreau or any orange liqueur (you can also substitute orange juice)
  • 2 cups sparkling water
  • 2 cups ice if desired, you can alway freeze wine cubes ahead of time
  • Optional:
  • 1 to 2 cups pomegranate arils
  • 1 to 2 oranges sliced
Instructions
Remember to allow your Sangria to rest for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving!
  1. Pour the Merlot in a pitcher, add the pomegranate juice and the Cointreau, stir well.
  2. Put the mixture in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
  3. Remove the mixture from the fridge and add the sparkling water. Stir well. Add ice if desired.
  4. If serving for a holiday that isn't Halloween or Walking Dead related I would add some pomegranate arils and sliced oranges for garnish.
  5. Serve with a big old Sangria loving smile!

      You should be able to do it easily Karen. Once you do the first required comment it unlocks everything else. I’ll test it out tonight to make sure nothing is wrong.

    Hi there! These look awesome! I am really looking forward to making these for a halloween party I’m going to throw! I have one small question though.

    What do you use for the rim to make it so red and cool looking? I’m totally new to making drinks, so try not to laugh, please. lol

    Thanks,

    Mark

      Hey Mark. I would never laugh. We all have to start somewhere when it comes to cooking, and mixing drinks. I’m still learning new things every day.

      I used sprinkles or coloured sugar to rim my glasses. Find two small bowls that are just slightly bigger than the glasses you want to rim with colour. Put a tiny bit of water in one bowl, and coloured sprinkles or sugar in the other. Then dip the edge in the water lightly, then immediately dunk it in the sprinkles or sugar. Place them rim side down on a plate or platter to dry before turning them over. Sometimes when I want to be very specific look I’ll use corn syrup instead of water. It’s super sticky and you can get a nice thick rim of sprinkles/sugar that way. For that I just use my fingers or a small brush to get the syrup put on evenly. Then dunk the glasses in the sprinkles/sugar. Just be sure not to place them to dry on paper towels because it will stick and you’ll hate me so much if you do that. Ha.

      If you need help closer to the party just holler. You can hit me here or by email, [email protected], I’m always happy to help people out. And I never laugh. I knew nothing about cooking or entertaining when I first started. My mom did everything and never let us help. So I was clueless, no joke. I didn’t even know how to boil water. I always try to remember that when people ask questions.

    I’m so glad to meet a fellow WD fan! Our theme this year is Terminus, so our decorations are a bit gory. I bet you could pass the WD quizzes I made with ease since you’ve watched the series 15 times:-) Anyway, wanted to let you know that your drink is my feature pick for this week’s Merry Monday link party.

      I’m currently on round 26. Clearly, I have a problem. I’ll swing by this week to check it out. I have Terminus Ribs to share soon. And I made Dwight’s Sandwich. Ha! Just need to find time to post the recipes. I’m seriously obsessed. Hoping to go to ComicCon one day to meet the cast and embarrass myself fully!
