My love for the Hot Toddy and appreciation for the combination of gin and creme de cassis led me to this wonderfully delightful warm drink. The botanicals of the gin play against the sweet currant of cassis and the lemon juice chills everything out. Another option for this drink is to substitute the simple syrup with agave nectar, which adds a warmer sweetness.
