Vermouth Cassis

By Colleen Graham, About.com

The Vermouth Cassis is a very simple and light drink and is ideal for those times you want something with just a touch of alcohol, but a whole lot of refreshment. The name says it all, it is a mix of dry vermouth and creme de cassis, served over ice and topped with soda. This classic cocktail is a wonderful alternative to stronger highballs like the Whiskey Sour and is just as refreshing as a Gin and Tonic. A Vermouth Cassis is perfect for showing off your favorite vermouth and the touch of sweetness of the cassis is stunning.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz dry vermouth
  • 3/4 oz creme de cassis

Preparation:

  1. Pour the creme de cassis and vermouth into a highball glass filled with ice.
  2. Stir.
  3. Fill the glass with club soda and stir again.
