Cocktail Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by rimming your cocktail glass with activated charcoal. To do this, moisten the rim of the glass with a little lemon juice and dip it into the activated charcoal to coat the rim evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a shaker filled with ice, combine the black vodka, cranberry juice, orange liqueur, and lemon juice. Shake well until the mixture is chilled.

  3. 3

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of edible glitter on top for a hauntingly beautiful effect.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Finally, add a black cherry on a cocktail pick for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your dark and twisted cocktail!
