Notes

    1. Crème de cassis tip: Start with 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon—it’s potent and can take over fast. Add more only after you taste.
    2. Make it a pitcher: Multiply everything by the number of drinks, shake/stir in a pitcher with ice, and add cassis to each glass at the end so everyone gets that swirl.
    3. Tequila note: Silver/blanco keeps it crisp; reposado will taste warmer and a little more “oaky.”
    4. No shaker? Use a mason jar with a tight lid, or stir really well with plenty of ice until the drink is very cold.
