About

This cocktail uses activated charcoal as an ingredient. Ironically, activated charcoal is prescribed for detoxification purposes, as a liver cleanse, but please be aware that its addition to this cocktail does not counteract the impact of the alcohol! These are delicious and beautiful nonetheless, and great for a binchotan theme.
