Notes
- Nutrition information is an estimate and can vary depending on the brands of vodka, liqueur, and juice used.
- Make sure any luster dust used is clearly labeled edible.
- You can adjust the amount of black sugar or skip it completely.
- If preparing the drink ahead, wait to add the edible shimmer until just before serving.
- You can double, triple, or multiply the cocktail for a larger party.
- For the best appearance, use clear martini glasses so the black color and glitter can be seen clearly.
