Liquids in jars?

Hi guys! So I picked up this Vampire blood jar today at Michaels, and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on what liquid to put in it? I didn't know if just water and food colouring were the go to thing or if there was some other method people used.
Thanks! :) Liqueur Drink Glass bottle Bottle Distilled beverage

I also plan on adding some vamp teeth as it says unfiltered :cool:

Nice bottle and label - I love Michaels!

Karo syrup (or pancake syrup) with a little bit of red food coloring. It will look thicker than water and give you more of a blood effect. Mix the food coloring into it before you put it in the bottle (might have to thin it out a tiny bit with a tea spoon of water). And don't forget to empty it out of the bottle for storage (that could get gross if you store it with the syrup in there!)

I personally would save it to use on pancakes after Halloween as long as the bottle was washed prior to putting the syrup in there - bloody pancakes! :D

There are all sorts of potion/apothecary bottle threads on the forum with lots of ideas for stuff you can put into bottles to match their labels... definitely do some searching around these parts. :)

I would add baby oil, cooking oil, or as the above poster mentioned Karo syrup ( that I haven't tried, but I soon will) and even glitter if you'd like!
And just to clarify, adding the oil to the water and food coloring is my suggestion. Not just oil and coloring.
Oh!! Haha, one more suggestion to add, is to break open a glow stick, add the glow liquid to the bottle and it will glow! I could go on and on.. Haha!!

Corn syrup mixed carefully with red/yellow/blue food coloring
I add clear hair gel from the dollar store to water and food coloring. You get a nice thick consistency that won't mold or go bad.

I have one with tapioka pearls and water with green food color. I like ot when you can actually use what's in the jars. ;-)
I wonder how steamed mushy rice in hair gel might look. That might be my sleep brain talking.

I want to see that glitter liquid.
