Method
- Add the vodka, Cointreau, Chambord, cranberry pomegranate juice and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. If using clear vodka, add black food coloring a drop at a time until you like the shade. Add ice and shake for 10–20 seconds, until chilled. For multiple servings, shake in batches, leaving room for ice.
- Strain into chilled martini or coupe glasses, dividing evenly for the number of servings selected. Each serving has 4 US fl oz of liquid before shaking; choose glasses with extra room for dilution. Enjoy cold!
Notes
Getting that black color: Use black vodka, such as Blavod, or use clear vodka with McCormick black food coloring. Add the coloring a drop at a time until you like the shade. Adjust for each drink; larger batches may need more.
Juice: I used a cranberry pomegranate juice blend. If you can't find it, mix equal parts cranberry juice and pomegranate juice to make the total amount listed.
Make ahead: Mix without ice in a pitcher, cover and refrigerate until serving. Shake individual portions with fresh ice just before serving.
Dry ice safety: Keep dry ice out of the drinks you serve. Use a separate display, out of guests' reach, in a well-ventilated space. Never touch dry ice with bare skin or swallow it. If it has been added to a drink, all solid dry ice must fully turn to gas before serving; disappearing fog alone is not proof. Read the FDA's dry ice guidance.
