I saw a black cocktail in an issue of Chilled and I needed to do it. The cocktail used activated charcoal to get the color. After a little research, I couldn’t bring myself to serve a drink that comes with a health warning. I found that using black rice can give, at least clear spirits, the same effect.

2 oz Black Rice Infused Vodka
0.75 oz Lime Juice
0.5 oz Simple Syrup
0.5 oz Chambord

Shake. Double strain into a martini glass
