Black Widow Vodka Martini with Activated Charcoal
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Martini glasses
- Measuring jigger
Ingredients
- 8 ounces vodka
- 4 ounces dry vermouth
- 1 teaspoon food-grade activated charcoal powder
- Ice cubes
- 4 fresh blackberries
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.
- Pour the vodka, dry vermouth, and activated charcoal powder into the shaker.
- Secure the lid and shake hard for 20 seconds until the liquid turns completely black and the shaker feels cold.
- Strain the mixture evenly into four chilled martini glasses.
- Drop one fresh blackberry into each glass to finish.
Notes
Chill the glasses ahead of time so the martini stays cold longer. If the color looks too light after the first shake, add a pinch more charcoal and shake again. Skip the blackberry if you want a stricter martini style.
