Creepy, Fun Guy

My friend @bbrownecreates challenged me to make a cocktail based on this creepy looking mushroom called Bleeding Tooth Fungus. Challenge accepted!

I did some research on this fungi, and it is, in fact, edible and not poisonous. Unfortunately, it isn’t very palatable due to it being super bitter.

Enjoy this sweet, sour, and bitter drink!
