Black Widow cocktail
Description
You can prepare this original cocktail for any celebration—it's not too strong and easy to make. To prepare the Black Widow cocktail, you'll need vodka, black currant juice (preferably not too sweet), a bit of lime juice, and black sugar for garnish. You can color regular sugar with food dye, or simply buy ready-made black sugar (usually available in party supply stores). Serve chilled.
