Black heart cocktail

Yield: 1 serving

• ½ ounce black vodka, see note

• ½ ounce fig vodka

• 1 ½ ounces creme de cassis

• Dash of dry (white) vermouth

Note: Black vodka is made by Blavod, but it can be hard to find. Make your own by adding black food coloring or gel into a bottle of vodka, a few drops at a time, and shaking until it becomes black. Or add blue, red and green food coloring or gel into a bottle of vodka, a few drops at a time, and shaking until it becomes black.

Directions:

Pour black vodka, fig vodka, creme de cassis and vermouth into a cocktail shaker. Add ice, shake until cold, and strain into a glass.
