• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 ounces vodka or apple vodka
• 1/8 teaspoon activated charcoal for coloring (could also use black food dye) (optional)
• Dry ice (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1. If desired, rim your martini glass with black lava salt or coarse black sugar.
   2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the cider, pomegranate juice, lemon, vodka, and activated charcoal, if using. Shake to combine.
