      Hi lucy.

      No I didn’t. Actually the blood would be OK to drink, but I prefer my blood cooked in a black pudding for breakfast. The peroxide (strong bleach) would not be good. But by the time the cocktail has been made it is all converted to oxygen so is probably OK.

      But the real reason is that you can’t drink it as it doesn’t pour! The peroxide damages the red protein in the same way boiling an egg makes it hard. So it ends up being solid and if you tip the bloody cocktail over your head nothing will come out!
