Name your poison! Named after a beautiful but deadly plant, this drink has a dark color that hints at something sinister.

We collaborated with Savvy Housekeeping on another fun Halloween cocktail.  But don’t worry, instead of using poisonous flowers or berries, we used black currant juice and black currant liqueur (also known as creme de cassis).

Deadly Nightshade

1 1/2 oz. bourbon
2 oz. black currant juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
1/2 oz. creme de cassis
black or red grapes
club soda

Shake bourbon, juice, syrup and liqueur over ice and strain into cocktail or old-fashioned glass containing ice and chilled red or black grapes. Top off with club soda.
