Number Of Ingredients 5

12 sticks black licorice, broken into 1-inch pieces, plus more for garnishing drinks
1 cup sugar
Three 1-inch slices fresh ginger
2 liters unsweetened orange-flavored soda water
Gin, optional

Steps:

  • Special equipment: skull and bones ice cube trays

I had trouble finding fresh blackberries, so I used frozen ones instead. The drink was still good, but I think it would have been better with fresh berries.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll try it again with less sugar.
