FAQs
What is black vodka, and how can I make it at home? Black vodka is simply vodka tinted with food-grade black dye. If you can’t find it in stores, you can add a few drops of black food coloring to regular vodka for a similar effect.
Can I make this cocktail in a large batch? Yes, just multiply the ingredients by the number of servings needed. However, it’s best to float the black vodka individually for each drink to maintain the layered effect.
What if I don’t have green apple schnapps? You can use any apple-flavored liqueur as a substitute, though green apple schnapps will give the best color and flavor for this spooky drink.
