What has 8 legs, is black, and is peering out at you from your martini glass? Today's recipe of course! This cocktail is aptly named the Black Widow. Can you see the reasoning behind it? I love this drink and the presentation of it because your guests will believe a big black spider is sitting in the bottom of their glass when you hand them this little baby. So fun, so freaky, and so delicious! This recipe is brought to you by Janelle of Talk of Tomatoes. Her measuring techniques are original, so here's her recipe and directions. Enjoy!The Black Widow
Cream de Cassis
Vodka
triple sec
fresh lemon juice
Pomegranate juice
licorice strings
For two cocktails (or one cocktail shaker): 2 parts cassis, 3 parts vodka, 1 part triple sec, 1 part lemon juice, 1 part pomegranate. Sorry, even though I bought a little measuring glass for shots, I never seem to use it. I make cocktails with ratios. If I were over my skillet, each ‘part’ would translate to a ‘glugg’ of olive oil. Just think in fractions: for the Black Widow, your shaker is 8 parts. Go from there. Too much of this, too little of that: trust me, the spider really won’t care one way or another.
