Recipe: Berry Goth Orange & Blackberry Cocktail

Berry Goth Orange And Blackberry Cocktail

Vodka for this blackberry cocktail provided by Sobieski.

I hosted a bachelorette party in August, and one of the things the guests seemed to really enjoy were all the cocktails I prepared. I was inspired by the combination of real fruit and vodka in those recipes, and decided to make my own creation along these lines with a special Halloween twist.

Ingredients

  • 5 blackberries
  • 2 oz Sobieski Orange Vodka
  • 2 oz Sparkling Raspberry-Blackberry Water (I used Refreshe brand)
  • Ice
  • Sugar
  • Lemon Juice
  • Red & Yellow Food Coloring

Instructions

  • Add sugar to a small bowl and mix in 2 drops of red coloring and 3 drops of yellow food coloring to create an orange tint. In a separate bowl, pour in a small amount of lemon juice to dunk the edge of your glass in. Transfer the glass to the sugar bowl immediately and gently twist the rim around the sugar to coat the edge; set aside.
  • Place blackberries in a cocktail shaker and press them down with a fork to create a loose pulp. (You don't want to crush them completely - just break them up a little bit.) Add ice, vodka, and sparkling water; shake, pour into sugar coated glass and enjoy!

The idea for this came from the myriad raspberry cocktails I’ve been making – since blackberries are plentiful around here, I wanted to create a good blackberry cocktail, and I thought orange vodka would be a good pairing for a Halloween drink! I picked up the trick for smashing the berries from the Raspberry-Meyer Lemonade with Tequila recipe that was such a hit at the party. I figure that by crushing the berries a little bit, you’ll get a darker color in your drink for full goth effect.

To top it all off, I served this in my “Gothtini” glasses with skull martini shaker. I bought this set years ago and it’s been a favorite to pull out every Halloween!
