Velvet Haze Cocktail

A deep, moody, and mysteriously smooth drink with a punch of flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz vodka
• 1 oz black raspberry liqueur (like Chambord)
• 2 oz cranberry juice
• ½ oz lemon juice (optional for brightness)
• Ice
• Garnish: lemon twist, blackberries, or a sugar rim

Instructions:

1. Prep the Glass: Optional – Rim a rocks or martini glass with sugar. Chill the glass while you mix.
2. Mix the Drink: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add vodka, black raspberry liqueur, cranberry juice, and lemon juice (if using).
3. Shake It Up: Shake well until the mix is nicely chilled.
4. Strain & Serve: Strain into your prepared glass over fresh ice or straight up in a martini glass.
5. Garnish: Add a lemon twist or a few fresh blackberries for a visual pop.

This cocktail is perfect for evenings when you’re feeling bold and want something fruity with a twist. Great for parties, date nights, or stylish sipping on the patio.
