Leave it to Martha Stewart to have a cocktail using black vodka. I found Blavod in NY. No worries, though… tastes just fine using your favorite vodka brand. Makes for a tasty cocktail around Halloween.

Size: makes 6 drinks

Ingredients:
18 oz black vodka (or regular)
3 oz fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes)
Ice cubes
36 oz sparkling black-cherry soda
6 maraschino cherries, for garnish

Directions:

Stir together vodka and lime juice. Fill six 8 oz glasses with ice cubes, and divide vodka mixture among them. Top with soda, and garnish with cherries.
