Equipment
- 1 Jug
- 1 Spoon for mixing
- Strainer or sieve
Ingredients
- 30 ml Creme de Cassis
- 30 ml Gin
- 30 ml French Vermouth dry vermouth
- Orange zest for garnish
Instructions
- Put a large handful of ice into a jug.(This can be a cocktail jug or a kitchen jug if you don't have a cocktail jug).
- Pour in all the alcohol.

- Strain the drink into a serving glass. (Use either a hawthorne strainer or a small kitchen sieve).
- Garnish as desired.
Notes
- Use plenty of ice when making this drink and stir the alcohol with the ice for at least 30 seconds to chill the drink and dilute the alcohol properly.
- Chill the serving glass for 15 minutes before pouring the drink if time allows. Doing so helps ensure the drink is satisfyingly chilled at the point of serving.
- Have some fun playing around with alternative garnishes. Use orange zest or lemon zest. Add juicy berry garnishes or attach sprigs of fresh herbs to the rim of the glass with miniature pegs (mint, thyme or rosemary all work well).
- Savour this blackcurrant cocktail slowly. There's plenty of gin involved, so it's got quite a kick hiding behind that fruity front.
