This 2-minute Black Widow Martini Mocktail is a scary non-alcoholic take on the classic Dirty Martini. With black olive brine, beet juice and lemon juice this black drink has a grown-up, earthy taste with a distinct salty bite.
Pour black olive brine, beet juice, lemon juice, a few drops of black food coloring in a cocktail shaker and add an ice cube. Close the lid tightly and shake well.
Pour in a martini glass and decorate with a tooth pick with 3 black olives.
Notes
Ingredient notes & substitutions
Black olive brine can be swapped for green olive brine
Lemon juice needs to be fresh, the bottle kind won't do
Liquid food coloring works best for this recipe, but if it's all you have you can manage with gel food coloring as well. Just shake a bit extra!
