Spring is not here yet, but this long drink will give you a feel of Paris in springtime. The drink is also an ideal and refreshing apéritif for you or your guests in any season. It doesn't get more French.
6 cl dry French vermouth
1.5 cl crème de cassis
Sparkling mineral water
Mix vermouth and cassis with ice in a mixing glass. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Top up with mineral water. Garnish with a slice of lemon or lime.
The aromatic plant extracts in a dry vermouth are set free in this long drink, and the suggested amount of cassis gives a pleasing sweetness without overdoing it. Older recipes augment the amount of cassis going for a sweeter drink.
