Black Cat Cocktail: The Mysterious Taste of the Night
The Black Cat cocktail is a stylish and slightly mystical drink, known for its deep color, rich flavor, and gentle sweetness. It’s perfect for parties, themed events, or cozy evenings at home.
📌 Ingredients:
- 40 ml vodka
- 20 ml coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 20 ml blackcurrant liqueur or syrup
- A few drops of lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Cherry or blackcurrant for garnish (optional)
🧊 Preparation:
- Chill the glass:
Start by chilling your cocktail glass—either by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or by filling it with ice while you mix the drink. - Mix the ingredients:
In a shaker, combine vodka, coffee liqueur, and blackcurrant liqueur or syrup. Add a few drops of lemon juice to balance the sweetness with a bit of acidity. - Shake well:
Add a handful of ice cubes and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. - Serve:
Strain the mixture into a chilled glass using a cocktail strainer. Garnish with a cherry or a blackcurrant for contrast and a decorative touch.
🍸 Tips:
- To reduce the alcohol strength, increase the amount of syrup or add a splash of soda water.
- For a thicker texture, you can use crushed ice and blend the ingredients.
- Try swapping the coffee liqueur with a chocolate one for a smoother, dessert-like version.
The Black Cat cocktail isn’t just a drink—it’s a mood in a glass: mysterious, elegant, and a little playful. Whether for a romantic evening or a noir-themed gathering, it always makes an impression.
