Description
The Black Death is a cocktail whose name might inspire fear, but its taste is surprisingly approachable and fruity. It gets its deep dark, almost black color from the mix of blue Blue Curaçao with red grenadine and blood orange juice. It is a tequila-based long drink that perfectly combines sweet, sour, and fruity notes, making it excellent for themed parties like Halloween or simply as a colorful treat.
Preparation
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
- Strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
- Garnish with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry.
