Black Widow Martini


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. black vodka (or regular vodka with black food coloring)
  • 1 oz. cranberry juice
  • 1 oz. pomegranate juice
  • ½ oz. triple sec
  • ½ oz. lime juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Black sanding sugar or regular sugar (for rimming the glass)
  • Fresh blackberries (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation:

Step 1: Start by preparing the glass. Dip the rim of a chilled martini glass into lime juice, then coat it with black sanding sugar or regular sugar for a spooky effect. Set the glass aside.

Step 2: In a cocktail shaker, add a handful of ice cubes.

Step 3: Pour in the black vodka, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, triple sec, and lime juice.

Step 4: Shake the mixture vigorously for 20-30 seconds to ensure it’s well chilled.

Step 5: Strain the cocktail into the prepared martini glass.

Step 6: Garnish with a fresh blackberry, placing it on the rim of the glass or skewering it on a cocktail pick.

Notes

  • Use caution when handling black vodka, as it can stain. Pour carefully and wipe any spills immediately.
  • If using regular vodka, add a drop or two of black food coloring to achieve the dark hue. Stir thoroughly to ensure the color is evenly distributed.
