- Grenadine: Provides a deep red color and a sweet, pomegranate flavor, adding a visual and flavor contrast to the dark vodka.
- Sugar (For Spider Web Garnish): Adds a decorative, spooky element to the drink, making it perfect for Halloween.

How to Make the Spider’s Kiss
- Prepare Your Glass: Create a sugar spider web on the glass. Dip a fork or toothpick in simple syrup and “draw” a spider web pattern inside the glass. Sprinkle the pattern with granulated sugar and let it dry.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the black vodka and cranberry juice. Fill with ice and shake well until chilled.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. Slowly pour the grenadine into the center of the drink—it will sink to the bottom and then rise, creating a beautiful layered effect.
- Add Garnish: Garnish with blackberries on a cocktail pick or a few floating on top of the drink.
