Black napkin stain on white cotton shorts

Question

I spilt cranberry and vodka on my white cotton shorts, immediately I whiped them with seltzer and a napkin, unfortunately the napkin was black and blend onto the shorts. I pretreated them with oxyclean and handwashed them. The cranberry came out but the napkin stayed. I then tried soaking them fo 12hrs in Le Blanc Linen Wash, That kind of faded the black. So next stop the dry cleaner, there is just a shadow now of where it was. Is there anything I can do now or is this stain pretty much set?
