• In a cocktail shaker, combine the blackberry liqueur, chilled apple juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
• Add a generous amount of ice to the shaker and shake well for a few seconds until the drink is thoroughly chilled.
• Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
• Slowly pour the grenadine syrup over the drink, allowing it to sink and create a layered effect.
• For an added mystical touch, sprinkle about ½ tsp of powdered dry ice on top of the drink and serve with a stirrer. (Optional Step)
• Serve immediately and enjoy your Witch’s Heart Cocktail!

Blackberry Luster Liqueur:

• Pour 1 cup of vodka into a glass jar with a tight lid.
• Add 6 blackberries to the vodka. Seal the jar and refrigerate for 3 days to 1 week.
• Set your sous vide to 130°F (54°C). Place the vodka and blackberries in a sealed freezer bag, then submerge in the sous vide for 2 hours. Let cool before moving on.
• Strain the vodka through a cheesecloth into a clean jar, discarding the blackberries. The liquid should be clear and purple.
• Mix in ¼ to ⅓ cup of simple syrup to taste. Stir in ⅛ teaspoon of food-grade purple luster dust for a shimmery effect. Add more if needed, up to ¼ teaspoon.
• For a deeper purple color, add 1-2 drops of purple food coloring.
