Black Cat Martini
Using black vodka for Halloween is pretty obvious, but finding a pleasant tasting black vodka and creating a drink that tastes good as well as having novelty is more challenging. This cocktail uses the wild berry infused Eristoff Black vodka with dark Kahlua to achieve a tongue staining, squid ink black concoction with a truly unique flavor. The Hungarian herbal liqueur, Zwack, helps cut the sweetness and provide a slight black licorice aftertaste, but the dominant flavor is still cocoa, vanilla, and wild berry.
