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. Source: http://www.marthastewart.com/
