we get 2 signature cocktails with our package. and i would love to stick with my color scheme i have a fabulous purple cocktail that i cant wait to use...but am curious if i can find a GOOD tasting black one... i also dont drink, so this is going to complicate things even further...
someone recommended sambuca - which ive heard is DISGUSTING no matter what you put in it. what are your thoughts?
and theres also patron xo cafe - but im not sure if that will make a good 'pre-dinner' cocktail as its coffee flavored....anyone have opinions on that?
or can anyone recommend something that might actually taste good??

Re: black colored signature cocktail
Sambuca is fine if you like the taste of licorice (yuck). Patron xo cafe is very tasty and if you are going for a coffee taste, check out the Van Gogh vodka espresso. I also found a recipe online you might want to check out http://cocktails.about.com/od/vodkadrinkrecipes/r/black_cat.htm

Re: black colored signature cocktail
they make black vodka! Blavod!
I looked into this but decided against the black drink, didn't think it would look appetizing lol. What about a blush color or clear?
