Add the blackberries, simple syrup, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Gently muddle until the blackberries are broken down and release their juices.
Add the vanilla vodka and orange liqueur, then add ice and shake until well chilled.
Double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass to remove the blackberry seeds and pulp.
To make the spiderweb garnish, place a marshmallow on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 20–30 seconds, until softened. Let it cool for a few seconds before handling.
Pull off a small piece of the softened marshmallow and gently stretch it between your fingers to create thin, web-like strands. Carefully stretch the marshmallow strands across the rim of the glass to create a spiderweb effect.
Add 3 blackberries to a cocktail pick and layer it across the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Pro Tips
The marshmallow web garnish adds a spooky touch but can be tricky—let the marshmallow cool just enough to be stretchable without being too sticky.
If you want to add a bit of sparkle to your Witch’s Web, sprinkle some edible glitter on top for an extra magical effect.
Freeze the blackberries before using them as garnish for an extra chilling look and feel.
