THE BLACK MOON
For those who enjoy magic moods and spirits - this cocktail is for you. As we enter the Fall season the cycles of the moon become more dramatic and beautiful - this drink celebrates the dark side of the moon.
Here’s What You’ll Need to Make It:
(Makes 2 8oz Cocktails)
4oz Lavender Infused Vodka
8oz Lemon Italian Soda
4 Tablespoons of Blackberry Seriously Simple Syrup
2 Teaspoons of Activated Charcoal
Soda Water
Blackberries
Sprigs of Lavender
Add Lavender Infused Vodka, Blackberry Seriously Simple Syrup, and Activated Charcoal to a cocktail shaker - shake to mix. Add ice to glass and add Lemon Italian Soda - then pour vodka mixture into glass. Top off with a splash Soda Water and garnish with Blackberries and a Sprig of Lavender
Lavender Infused Vodka
Vodka is perfect for infusing - its a blank pallet. I love lavender and it’s a great pairing for this cocktail.
Here’s What You’ll Need to Make It:
1 Bottle of Your Favorite (non flavored) Vodka
3 Sprigs of Food Grade Lavender
1 Airtight Bottle or Large Jar
Rinse lavender and place in airtight bottle or large jar. Pour vodka over lavender and then seal container. Shake the container a few times and then store in a cool dark place for 3 -5 days. When ready to use strain and enjoy.
If you want to make this tonight and dont have 3 days, you can use food grade lavender essential oil , 2 -3 drops per cocktail
Blackberry Seriously Simple Syrup
Making the blackberry syrup couldn’t be easier, and you can apply the technique to other fruit.
Here’s What You’ll Need to Make It:
3 Cups Fresh Blackberries
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice
1 Cup of Water
Add all ingredients to a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain out seeds and pulp, and you’re done!
