Black Widow Martini
A delightfully ghoulish drink to serve at your Halloween party. Cherry juice makes a dark red drink, but with a drop or two of some blue and yellow food color, you can get the delightful black martini. Add some 'dripping blood' down the side of the glass for the perfect creepy effect.
