Sip o’ the Week—best recipe for a Classic Vermouth Cassis Cocktail

During the summertime, when it's hot out, enjoy a refreshing, light cocktail like this one: a classic French drink called the Vermouth Cassis.
Vermouth Cassis

A classic summertime cocktail

Ah, In summertime when it’s hot out, I like to enjoy a refreshing, light cocktail like this one: a classic French drink called the Vermouth Cassis, which pretty well describes what’s in it: vermouth and creme de cassis.

For this straightforward cocktail, it’s worth it to splurge on the best dry vermouth you can find. I’m especially fond of Ransom Dry Vermouth ($14.99). Likewise, get your hands on the finest Creme de Cassis you can. Creme de Cassis is a blackcurrant flavored liqueur and a good brand available here is Cartron ($29.99).

Here is a simple recipe for a single cocktail. Just double up on the amounts to make two.

Ingredients for a Classic Vermouth Cassis Cocktail

2-3 ounces Dry Vermouth (such as Ransom)

¾ ounce Creme de Cassis (such as Cartron)

3 ounces of club soda (or enough to fill the glass)

Mint or basil leaves for garnish (optional)

The Cassis Cocktail Method

In a collins glass with a few ice cubes, pour the dry vermouth and the creme de cassis. Stir well.
Top the glass off with club soda.
Garnish with basil or mint leaves (optional) and enjoy!
