Concoct the Black Widow, a spine-tingling elixir with vodka, zesty lemon juice, sparkling water, and a hint of activated charcoal. Complete with a spiderweb rim crafted from vegan marshmallows, it's the perfect choice for a Halloween libation that's both eerie and delightful.

Recipe Type: Drinks | Serves: 1

Ingredients

• Vegan Marshmallows: 1-2 big, 6-8 small

• Vodka: 1 oz (omit for mocktail, or sub for non-alcoholic version)

• Lemon Juice: 1 oz

• Sparkling Water: 2 oz

• Activated Charcoal: 1 tsp

• Ice: 1/2 cup

Instructions

1. Prepare your marshmallow web. In the microwave, heat half of your marshmallows for about 15 seconds. Your first marshmallow will be a bit crispy. Careful it will be hot, wait until it slightly cools! Slightly twist the marshmallow into a spiral shape and add it to your glass.

2. Heat the other half of your marshmallows for about 5-10 seconds. Your second marshmallow will be softer and will be used to create the webbing on top of the glass. Careful it will be hot, wait until it slightly cools! Using your fingers, form spiderwebs around the rim. Place glass in fridge.

3. In a shaker, combine ice, vodka if using, lemon juice, sparkling water and activated charcoal. Shake.

4. Pour into your glass and enjoy responsibly!
