Black Magic Martini - Halloween Cocktail 2022

The recipe for the Black Magic Martini

• 2,3 fl oz gin
• 0,68 fl oz vermouth
• 1/2 charcoal tablet
• A pinch of edible glitter

Stir all ingredients together over ice (for a very long time so that the charcoal tablet also dissolves well) and strain into a pre chilled martini glass. Spritz with a lemon zest. Drink.

How does it work and what other Halloween drinks can I make this way?

The activated charcoal turns the drink black, and the glitter makes it sparkle - quite a fancy effect that is sure to find its fans on days other than Halloween. In principle, the trick works exactly the same way with any clear cocktail. Drinks with their own color tend to create an oddly dirty dark dishwater look when punctuated with charcoal. But we're certainly not stopping you from experimenting. The secret ingredients are available at major supermarkets (edible glitter), drugstores (charcoal)

Attention very important! Activated charcoal used can counteract the effect of active drugs, if you take any. That's even true for birth control pills.
