What to drink:
Just for grown-up goblins: Serve up a little black magic — in the form of cocktails made with vodka that’s as dark as night.
Ghost in the Graveyard
Serves 1
2 ounces black vodka
2 ounces creme de cacao or coffee-flavored liqueur
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Pinch of finely grated nutmeg, for garnish
In
a glass, combine vodka and creme de cacao, and set aside. Place a scoop
of ice cream in a highball glass, and slowly pour vodka mixture over
ice cream. Garnish with nutmeg; serve immediately.
Screwed-Up Screwdriver
Serves 1
1/4 cup ice
1/2 cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice
1 1/2 ounces black vodka
1 black licorice twist, for serving
Place
ice in a tall glass. Pour juice into glass. Pour vodka over the back of
a cocktail spoon into glass so it sits on top of juice and creates a
layer of black. Slice 1/4 inch off each end of licorice, and use as a
straw. Serve immediately.
Berry Scary Martini
Serves 1
1 cup ice
1 ounce black vodka
2 ounces cherry juice
Fresh raspberries and blueberries, for garnish
Combine
ice, vodka, and cherry juice in a cocktail shaker; shake vigorously.
Pour into a martini glass. Thread raspberries and blueberries onto a
cocktail skewer, and place in drink. Serve immediately.
