This dramatically dark drink's elegantly equal proportions are offset by the addition of a small amount of activated charcoal powder - an unusual (and, yes, edible) ingredient that has been making appearances on inventive cocktail menus in recent years. Here, it joins navy-strength gin, maraschino, Chartreuse, lemon juice and BrennivĂ­n - a bracing Icelandic schnapps - in beautiful balance.
