Vermouth Cassis

So many lovely cocktail recipes in this book....

This particular one I selected because I have no idea what to do with the cream of cassis in my liquor cabinet. Admittedly, this recipe calls for cassis syrup, not the liqueur, but all I could find was online, the Torani Cassis syrup (on line), and none in my local shops.

So - I did substitute the liqueur, and it made the cocktail a beautiful color. I felt there might be too much club soda, though, and did go back and add another 1 tsp cream of cassis. It was a refreshing drink, with a mild amount of alcohol -- something I could sip all afternoon.
