Black Widow

The Spice & Tea Exchange

Servings

1 cocktail. Note: infused tequila and maple simple syrup prep yields enough to make 4 cocktails.

A dark and mysterious blend of bold flavors, this cocktail combines smoky tequila, sweet maple, tart pomegranate, and rich plum, finishing with a warm hint of cinnamon. Perfectly haunting for Halloween nights, but a delicious potion any time of year.
