Interesting

I don't know why but I wanted to think that this was going to be too sweet. Maybe it's the Cassis, maybe it's that I'm not a fan of Campari, but nonetheless I loved it. The rye I used (Bulleit) stood up to the Campari and subdued it so it merely acted as a balancing component to the cassis and rye, resulting in a boozy cocktail that could be served as both a digestif and an aperitif (maybe if you upped the Campari just a tad, or added some Aperol).

Another excellent drink. I was hesitant about the 3 drops of saline but it works well given the bitter element from the Campari. Difford's suggestion for the "original" Fogerty cocktail (using De Kuyper 'Dutch Cacao' Creme de Cacao instead of Crème de cassis) of serving on-the-rocks if one finds it too spiritous / bitter even with the saline, would work equally well here.

Made this with Wild Turkey 101 Rye, Campari, DeKuyper (US) Creme De Cassis, Orange Bitters by Angostura. Not as sweet as I expected (First time using the DeKuyper (US) Creme De Cassis; I couldn't easily find a better quality brand...).. At first, I was a little undecided on this, but it ended up being pretty sippable, as Difford's review claims... Sweet, subtle blackcurrant up front, fading into the rye whiskey, then the bitter orange of the Campari. The orange zest twist is an appreciated addition to the mix.

Bit of a jumble of overpowering flavours. Definitely prefer the no. 1.

Ryan Fitzgerald's Fogerty is 8:2:1 but the 1 is white crème de cacao, not crème de cassis.

Tried per the recipe. Decided it was a bit too sweet for our tastes, so we added about 1/3 oz more rye. Cut the sweetness down and made it delightful.

Interesting play of Spice(Rye), sweet(rye and Cassis) and Bitter (Compari). Rye is the king here so chose wisely. Might play with ratios a little and swap the bitters.

I have yet to try this with Cassis, but it works very well indeed with Chambord and with cherry brandy, and invites one to carry on experimenting. Campari really is a most extraordinary ingredient - up there with garlic and black truffles!

I also used WT 101. I fiddled with the quantities since I like very little campari. I used 0.5 oz of Cassis and 0.25 oz of campari and I enjoyed the result quite a bit.

Found this to be a bit boozy as formulated but truly enjoyed the accord between cassis and rye spice - certainly not something I would've ever thought to try.

Wonderful!! Grate Campari-Cassis duet!

Tried this with WT 101, Martini Bitter, Lejay and Regan's #6 and it didn't really work out.
