Día de los Muertos Cocktail Recipe: Sweetest Death

I created this cocktail recipe as a nod to Día de los Muertos and the classic, colorful sugar skulls that are so much a part of the celebration of honoring the dead. If you can't find blackberry juice, you can easily swap that ingredient for cranberry juice.

COCKTAIL RECIPE: SWEETEST DEATH

4 oz lemon-flavored vodka

4 drops orange-flavored bitters

8 oz blackberry juice

Club soda

Blackberries

Ice

Dell Cove Spice Co.'s Midnight Black cocktail rim sugar

Directions:

Rim two chilled bar glasses with Dell Cove Spice Co.'s Midnight Black cocktail rim sugar. Fill glasses with ice, then set aside.

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine vodka, blackberry juice and bitters. Shake vigorously, and then strain into rimmed glass. Top glasses off with club soda and garnish with berries.
