Drink Of The Week - Black Cloud Cocktail

It's Halloweentime and now is the time to get your hands on black vodka; so many great cocktails use it, like this one! Recipe serves 2, courtesy of Food Network.

1/2 cup orange soda
1 cup orange juice
1 shot orange liqueur
2 shots black vodka
garnish: 2 peppermint sticks, 2 licorice wheels

1.  In a small pitcher or 2 cup measuring cup combine the orange soda, orange juice and orange liqueur and divide evenly between 2 martini glasses.

2.  Hold a teaspoon upside down over the glass, slowly pour a shot of black vodka on top of the orange juice mixture so that is floats on top, creating a layered effect. Repeat with second drink.

3. Garnish with a peppermint stick and/or a licorice wheel
