The Mistress of the Dark: A Mocktail Fit for the Queen of Horror

As we conclude our Halloween-inspired mocktail series, we’re going out with a bang—just like Elvira herself! Inspired by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, this mocktail is bold, dark, and sparkling with glamour, much like the horror queen it’s named after. Whether you're throwing a costume party or celebrating a spooky night in, The Mistress of the Dark will add the perfect gothic flair to your event.

Elvira, played by the iconic Cassandra Peterson, is a campy, beloved character who brings a blend of humor, sass, and horror to every scene. Known for her witty comebacks, over-the-top style, and love of all things macabre, Elvira has become a true horror legend. Like Elvira, this mocktail is fun, flamboyant, and full of character—perfect for anyone looking to embrace their inner horror queen.

This mocktail combines the richness of pomegranate juice with the sweetness of black cherries, creating a dark, deliciously spooky drink. Topped with our very own Cool Breeze and a hint of edible glitter, it’s a drink that’s as visually striking as it is tasty.

• 2 cups pomegranate juice
• 20 pitted black cherries
• 2 tablespoons agave syrup
• 5 drops black gel food coloring
• 4 oz Soirée Cool Breeze (a refreshing blend of cucumber, elderflower, lychee, and mint)
• Ice cubes
• Silver edible glitter for garnish

• For a more tropical twist, you can use Soirée Marge-a-rita with passion fruit, guava, and rose.
• Garnish with gummy worms or blackberries for an extra spooky touch.
