Instructions
-
Prepare Your Glass
If desired, rim a chilled coupe or martini glass with fine sugar or edible glitter. Simply swipe the rim with lime and dip it into the sugar/glitter mix. -
Build the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine the black raspberry liqueur, dark rum, crème de cassis (or blackberry brandy), fresh lime juice, and aromatic bitters. -
Add Ice & Shake
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. The goal is to chill the mixture while adding a touch of dilution to round out the bold flavors. -
Strain & Serve
Strain the elixir into your prepared glass. It should glisten with a deep, dark purple tone. -
Garnish Like a Pro
Drop in a dark cherry or fresh blackberry for a splash of drama. Add a sprig of mint or rosemary for aroma. A dash of edible glitter can make the drink shimmer like a starless night sky.
Notes
This drink leans heavily into its dramatic, luxurious vibe. It’s meant to be sipped slowly, appreciated for both its flavor and its flair. Perfect for moonlit evenings, mystery-themed events, or romantic celebrations, it pairs well with dark chocolate, charcuterie, or sultry jazz playing in the background.
