Black Widow Halloween Cocktail
🕷️🍸 Black Widow Halloween Cocktail

2 oz black vodka (or regular vodka + black food coloring)

1 oz pomegranate juice (adds sweetness and deep color)

½ oz simple syrup (or honey syrup for a richer flavor)

Ice cubes

Fresh blackberries or pomegranate seeds (for garnish)
-

-
Strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass.

(Optional) Drop a small chip of dry ice into the drink just before serving for a foggy, witchy look — never touch or swallow dry ice directly!
🕷️ Tips & Variations
-
💀 For a bloodier look: Drip a bit of red grenadine syrup down the inside of the glass before pouring.

🖤 For a non-alcoholic version: Replace vodka with sparkling water or black cherry soda.

🌶️ Spicy twist: Add a slice of jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne to the shaker for a “venom bite.”
