Gin de Cassis

This easy, light gin-based cocktail has notes of black currant, thanks to the créme de cassis, which might not be a liqueur in your bar cart, but it absolutely should be. It makes this cocktail fruity but light, and boozy with a slight sweetness. I love this drink with a floater of club soda, but even just shaken on the rocks, it is still a winner.
