This is one of the best cocktails for a Halloween party. This Black Martini replaces vermouth with either blackberry brandy or black raspberry liqueur (Chambord being a good choice). The drink will be dark, but not black-black so another option is to make a Vodka Martini with Blavod, a black colored vodka.

For another variation on the Black Martini, check out this video.

Ingredients:

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass or serve on the rocks in an old-fashioned glass.
  4. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Black Martini, Member TajHS

dont use brandy, it's too harsh the best bet is Chambrode (sp?) its a blackberry liquire, alot smoother than brandy, and make sure the class and drink is very very cold, once it gets warm it gave me a touch of heartburn.
