Swamp Thing

swampthing From the murky depths Swamp Thing emerges. The cocktail gets its nebulous color from black vodka and blood oranges, two ingredients that are perfect for many Halloween beverages.

Ingredients

  • ½ a blood orange (sliced with peel and pith removed)
  • Sprig of mint leaves
  • 2 lime slices
  • Powdered sugar
  • 2 oz black vodka
  • Ice

Instructions

Put the blood orange slices and mint leaves in a glass and muddle them. Add a squirt of lime and a small sprinkling of powdered sugar. Put ice and black vodka in a cocktail shaker to cool, pour over the mixture and stir gently. Garnish with a lime slice.
