The Black Widow Martini is a dramatic twist on the classic espresso martini. Sheridan’s Coffee Layered Liqueur adds silky coffee-cream smoothness, while black vodka and a grenadine spiderweb turn it into a Halloween showstopper.
Perfect as the centrepiece cocktail at your spooky gathering.
Ingredients
45 ml Sheridan’s Coffee Layered Liqueur
30 ml black vodka (or regular vodka + a drop of black food colouring)
30 ml freshly brewed espresso (slightly cooled)
10 ml grenadine (for garnish)
Ice cubes
Method
Add Sheridan’s, black vodka, and espresso to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until frothy and chilled.
Strain into a chilled martini glass.
Drizzle grenadine in a spiral, then drag lines outward to create a spiderweb garnish.
Tips for the Perfect Black Widow Martini
Glassware: Always use a chilled martini or coupe glass.
Spiderweb: Use a dropper for neat grenadine lines.
No Black Vodka? Add food colouring to regular vodka.
