A Black Widow Cocktail may sound ominous but it’s super simple and very delicious. A mix of fresh blackberry juice and vodka makes a drink you will love!

Not too sweet and not too tart, makes the combination of this cocktail a classic.

I’m not sure the meaning behind the name of this cocktail but frankly, I don’t care. It would make a great Halloween mixed drink but my favorite time for this is during blackberry season. The berries are fresh for making juice and then some whole ones rolled in sugar make a perfect garnish!

Recipe Tips:

I love to make this with fresh blackberry juice, however, fresh blackberry juice is really thick so I had a couple of splashes of water to this cocktail.
My fresh blackberry juice is sugarless so I add simple syrup to my drink. Be sure to taste your juice before adding any sugar or sweetener when using store-bought juice.
For garnish, I simply rolled a couple of fresh blackberries in sugar and stuck them on a toothpick! I’m fancy like that!
A jigger is 1.5 ounces – this is cocktails, not science so just go with the flow and measure with your heart!
Colored sugar or festive sprinkles would be fun to rim the glass with – simply dip the rim in water or simple syrup then into the sprinkles!
You can buy or make simple syrup – to make it is a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water heated until the sugar dissolves and then cooled.

Notes

Make this festive by rimming the glass in colored sugar or sprinkles - dip the rim of the glass in water or simple syrup then dip into your sprinkles then pour or mix the cocktail in the glass!

Fresh blackberry juice is really thick so sometimes I add a couple of splashes of water once I mix the drink if it's a tad thick!
