That Devil Woman

An original by Rachel Corbitt (@theresidentmixologist) made for our "Cruella" cocktail competition. Her take: "Cruella de Vil is probably a martini gal—one with a blood-thirsty and bitter black heart, like this cocktail." Our take: We love the inspiration behind this, and the result is a delicious cocktail, perfectly balanced, and a definite set-up from a classic martini. No matter how you feel about Cruella, you're going to love this cocktail!

Ingredients:

• ¾ oz Blood Orange Cordial
• 1 ½ oz vodka
• 1 oz dry vermouth
  
• ½ oz Campari
• 4 blackberries

Instructions:

• Muddle the blackberries with the vodka in a cocktail shaker
• Add remaining ingredients with ice and shake hard for 10 seconds
  
• Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass
  
• Garnish with a blackberry
