We found this delicious recipe on the Fresh Favorful website and it was as delicious as it was festive. Not to mention extremely easy to make!
Ingredients::
- Activated charcoal powder – With many claimed benefits from aiding in detoxification, purification, digestion, and hangover prevention, it’s no surprise that activated charcoal is now making it’s way as a big trend in cocktails. Preventing hangovers during happy hour? Yes, please! One teaspoon is all you need to make enough black liquor for a pitcher of cocktails or use a tablespoon to infuse a whole bottle. The charcoal adds color and a bit of texture but no flavor.
- Vodka – Or you can use Gin. We used Carbonadi (Oprah’s vodka and it was delicious!)
- Pineapple juice – Apple cider, cranberry or cherry juice are all fabulous substitutions.
- Lime juice – Fresh squeezed, always.
- Club soda – A splash of soda on top adds just a bit of bubbles. Feel free to substitute with sparkling water, tonic or none at all.
- Round ice sphere – Not necessary for flavor but SO FUN for the full moon effect.
- Dry Ice- A fun addition also not necessary but highly recommend adding it!
Instructions::
- Prepare sphere ice in ice molds and place serving glasses in freezer to chill.
- Infuse alcohol with charcoal powder. Either add a few ounces to a lidded jar and shake with a pinch of food-grade charcoal powder until combined. Or infuse an entire bottle with a few tablespoons of charcoal.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice shake to chill.
- Strain into two martini or coupe glasses.
Enjoy!
