A Halloween classic, the Black Widow Martini oozes sophistication with a dash of sinister allure. The rich, deep color comes from black vodka (or regular vodka with a splash of blackberry liqueur), and it’s perfect for a stylish gathering when served in sleek, modern martini glasses. A modern wine glass could also add an elegant twist.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz black vodka (or regular vodka)
- 1 oz cranberry juice
- ½ oz lime juice
- Garnish: blackberries or a plastic spider
Instructions:
- Pour the vodka, cranberry juice, and lime juice into a shaker with ice.
- Shake vigorously until well mixed.
- Strain into a martini glass or a stemless wine glass to create a modern look, and garnish with a blackberry or a plastic spider for an extra spooky touch.
Pro Tip: Pair this drink with unique dinnerware that embraces the spooky season, such as black or metallic serving trays for a complete gothic vibe.
