Ingredients:

10 ounces vodka
5 ounces triple sec
2 ounces bitters
1 cup fresh-squeezed blood orange juice
2 cups black cherry soda
Grenadine, for rim

Preparation:

In a large punch bowl filled with ice, pour vodka, triple sec, bitters, blood orange juice and black cherry soda. Laugh as though you are an evil zombie and stir. Rim each glass with grenadine before filling with punch mixture, then serve. Stagger around menacingly, and threaten to eat strangers' brains.
