What I Love About This Recipe
- Memorable Moments: Enjoying a Black Martini creates a memorable and sophisticated drinking experience, perfect for special occasions, especially Halloween.
- Versatile: It can be customized to suit various preferences, from sweeter to more robust by adjusting the ingredients.
- Common Ingredients: Many of my black cocktails use activated charcoal, even my Black Lemonade, but this drink uses black food coloring and common mixers.
How to Make a Black Martini
- Mix the spirits. Pour vodka, Chambord, Cranberry Juice, and food coloring into your cocktail shaker, then generously fill it halfway with ice.
- Shake and strain. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass.
- Add soda. Pour ginger beer or lemon-lime soda on top of the cocktail and garnish with a blackberry or orange peel.
Recipe Variations
- Use activated charcoal. Instead of using food coloring you can use activated charcoal like I do in my Black Margarita and Black Mojito. It won’t alter the flavor and turns the drink an inky black.
- Black Vodka. There are several brands of black vodka you can use instead of the food coloring, which will result in the same dark coloring.
