All Day Cassis

This combination of dry vermouth, lemon, crème de cassis, dry tonic and sparkling rosé is bright and refreshingly bubbly any time of day. The small add of crème de cassis (a black currant-based liqueur) balances the drink's acidity, while a pinch of flaky sea salt smooths and enhances flavors. The drink can be made to serve one, as written, or the mix of vermouth-lemon-crème de cassis can be batched in advance, then poured over ice and topped with dry tonic and sparkling rosé just before serving.

Ingredients

• 1 ounce dry vermouth
• 0.5 ounce fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 ounce crème de cassis
• Pinch flaky sea salt
• 1 ounce dry tonic, chilled
• 3 ounces dry sparkling rosé, chilled
• 1 lemon slice

Steps

1. Fill a lowball glass with ice. Add the vermouth, lemon juice, crème de cassis and salt. Top with tonic and sparkling rosé. Stir gently to combine, then garnish with the lemon slice.
