Ideas for an Anti-Valentine's Day Cocktail?

[EvergreenDan]

Oh, black, good idea. How about black and red? This is one of my all-time favorites, combining Black Balsams (the Latvian digestif) and Campari.

Midnight Ruby

1 oz Gin

1 oz Campari

1/2 oz Black Balsams

1 oz Grapefruit juice

Shake, strain, rocks, low-ball

The Dead Date

black rum & tonic with no citrus, place a dried date on the rim as a garnish

We served Dead Dates.

Bitter, dubious looking, and popular. And easy. Added a splash of bitters for good measure.

Thanks everyone for the ideas, and happy un-anti-valentine's day.
