• This cocktail represents the forces of good and evil.

WELL KA-CHINGGG! You're one step closer to living your dream. Kind of. Two fancy-pants local bars are now offering Twilight-themed cocktails, for sparkly, vampiric intoxication:

The Hunt Club at the Sorrento has invented "The Bella Edward," which "combines sweet-sour ingredients to represent the forces of good and evil, light and dark, and the passion and restraint of the romance between the two lead characters."

“A Cullen Family Cocktail”

Balsamic reduction
1 teaspoon raspberry puree
2 ½ ounces raspberry vodka
½ ounce Krupnik Honey Liqueur

And Canlis is offering “The Temptation of Edward Cullen,” by bartender James MacWilliams:

“I was trying to capture some of the essence of the movie with this particularly vampires and the Olympic coast. Forks is surrounded by the Olympic national park on one side and the pacific ocean on the other. I was trying to create a biting crisp taste just hinting a forest and visually feeling like vampire. This drink is not for the feeble of heart. Strong but strangely keeps pulling you back. The crushed ice helps chill it and if done right will frost the outside of the glass like the crystal vampire skin of the books and movie.”

1oz Plymouth gin
1/4oz Zirbenz (Austrian Arolla stone pine liqueur)
1/8oz Le Tourment Vert Absinthe (A french vert or green absinthe with pronounce crisp eucalyptus notes)
2oz Champagne
3/4oz Green Walnut Wine (a sweet, homemade, aromatized, fortified wine with a spicy nutty flavor)

Overheard in the office:

"Do rich people watch Twilight?"
"I think rich people have teenage daughters."
"No, I think rich people have secretaries."
