How to make:

Select and pre-chill a Coupe glass.
Prepare garnish of Luxardo Maraschino Cherry.

Review:

The original recipe suggests adding the cassis separately after the drink is strained into the glass so it sinks. Looks great but the resulting drink is very sour until the cassis is stirred in.

I really liked this cocktail. It is very sour. I would equate to an electric lemonade with a hint of cassis. If you like a sweeter cocktail I would suggest adding more cassis or sugar syrup. This would be absolutely perfect on a warm afternoon while relaxing

Will try again, but reduce the lemon juice by 1/3.
