I love to give black vodka recipes for Halloween and Friday the 13th. The original of this cocktail was with crushed blackberries and blackberry liqueur only. It gets darker and stronger with Blavod--the black vodka. It's original recipes is a modern take on the Collins cocktail, it was re-named the Black Swan, along with a host of other cocktails, during the 2010 Oscar season. Here's the updated version for a real Friday 13 kick:
Some blackberries (most recipes call for fresh...to hell with it, use frozen.)
Simple syrup (that's just sugar water)
Blavod
Fresh lemon juice
Soda water aka Club soda
Smash blackberries in bottom of glass(es). Add Blavod and stir. Add in the lemon juice and simple syrup and stir. Then add some ice (do not stir). Top with Soda and garnish with blackberry or lemon slice and any ole damn piece of fruit at hand! Enjoy. Drink enough of these and you might not even care if Jason is outside....then again.... Happy Friday 13th!!
