To celebrate the upcoming release of New Moon, we bring you some delicious drinks containing tart cherry juice or juice concentrate, for a powerful punch of antioxidants and the perfect blood red colour.
Twilight fans of all ages can also enjoy the Never Bitten, a non-alcoholic beverage that pairs the pleasant punch of tart cherry juice with sweet coconut and sparkling soda.
