The Black Magic pairs vodka and coffee liqueur — a combination that rose to popularity as coffee liqueurs gained mainstream appeal through the mid-to-late 20th century. A small measure of lemon juice cuts through the sweetness and gives the drink a crisp, unexpected edge that sets it apart from heavier coffee cocktails.
