What is the Black Orchid?
The Black Orchid is a vodka martini-style cocktail made with premium vodka and natural flavors featuring bright lemon, orange blossom, and black raspberry notes finished with a subtle violet bouquet. Bottled at 16% ABV with no artificial coloring or preservatives. 375ml glass bottle, 3-5 servings per bottle.
How do you serve the Black Orchid?
Chill the bottle well, then serve straight up in a chilled coupe or martini glass for a classic martini experience. For a longer drink, pour over ice in a rocks glass. No shaking, no mixing — the cocktail is bottled at the right strength to serve directly from the bottle.
What's the ABV of the Black Orchid?
16% ABV (32 proof). This matches the strength of a classic vodka martini served at a craft cocktail bar — significantly higher than typical canned RTD cocktails which range 4-8% ABV. Full-strength means real spirit flavor, not a watered-down approximation.
Does the Black Orchid need refrigeration?
No refrigeration required. Brody's bottles are shelf-stable thanks to natural preservation through alcohol content and the absence of perishable ingredients. Chill before serving for best flavor, but the unopened bottle stores at room temperature for up to two years.
What does the Black Orchid taste like?
Bright lemon up front, orange blossom mid-palate, and finishes with black raspberry and a subtle violet bouquet. A vodka martini style cocktail — clean, sophisticated, and aromatic without being sweet. Best served straight up in a chilled glass.
