Black Gold
NEFT Vodka’s original signature cocktail, the Black Gold, is as visually striking as it is tasty. Though the activated charcoal turns the drink a deep, inky color, its flavor is light and refreshing. Made with NEFT Vodka, lime juice, and fresh cucumber, the Black Gold draws inspiration from classic cocktails like cucumber gimlets and margaritas. It’s perfectly crisp and easy to sip, making it a great cocktail for any occasion.
