What would Halloween be without a special TREAT for the adults?! I mean, we’re all here for the BOO-ze, aren’t we??? Today I’m sharing all of the details of this hauntingly beautiful, Black Widow Cocktail with you!
The Black Widow Cocktail gets its black hue from activated charcoal and it’s chilling looks from dry ice!! If you don’t have activated charcoal on hand, not to worry, feel free to skip this step as it will only slightly change the colour from black to more of a maroon colour!
Pps. The dry ice is just for effect, do not ingest this!
Mystical Black Widow Cocktail
Ingredients
3 ounces 3 gin
1 1/2 ounce 1 1/2 lemon juice
2 ounces 2 cassis (we love Dillon’s brand !)

Directions
- Add all cocktail ingredients to cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until the shaker is cold to the touch.

Doesn’t the activated charcoal get all over your teeth? Might actually be OK at halloween but……
Hello! I love your site…wanted to share…in your ingredient list for the Halloween drink. I think you may have included the link for Dillon’s Gin beside the Cassis…..by accident.
