Unseasonably warm weather, again. Which are making the days quite enjoyable. Spring is almost here and this tipple is a modest reminder of such. Slight Pimms-ish, minus the fruit, although a garnish of fruit would dress it up proper. What I love about this beverage, besides the taste, is the gorgeous colour. The photo does do it some justice; it is a dark inky plum with undertones of amber. Sounds autumnal although the taste is fruity. Another simple refreshment.
Cassis and Soda
---------------------------------------------------------
about 2 ounces of Creme de Cassis
chilled Club Soda
Pour the Cassis into an old fashion or a high ball glass and then fill the glass half way or full, depends on your flavour strengths, with club soda. Garnish with slices of oranges.
Notes: This beverage is similar to a Cassisco except with that cocktail you add about 1 and 1/2 ounces of Triple Sec. Filling the glass to the brim with chilled Club Soda, doing some slightly fancy stirring and is served with ice cubes.
Have a good weekend everyone! - JD
