If there’s a nerd in your life you love, consider treating them to There and Back Cafe’s newest drink: The Sanguine Bond.

Named after one of the cards from the game Magic the Gathering, this strawberry white mocha isn’t actually made with blood (as far as we know), but does have a delightfully-seasonal pink hue to it. The drink probably would’ve sent our Twilight-obsessed teenage selves over the edge with joy back in the day, if we’re being honest.

The cafe recommends pairing it with either a creme fríache shortbread strawberry bar or a dark cherry pink breakfast roll. Yum.
