I’d like a cocktail with gin and cassis.

If you're looking for a delightful blend of gin and crème de cassis, the Kir Royal and the Last Drop are excellent choices, but let's narrow it down to those featuring gin most prominently. Two splendid options to consider are the Parisian and the Last Drop.

Parisian:

This cocktail brings the best out of gin's crisp botanicals, combined with the sweet, rich berry notes of crème de cassis. The red vermouth adds a layer of herbaceous complexity, creating an aromatic and tantalizing drink. The balance of flavors is quite sophisticated, making it perfect for those who appreciate a mix of sweet and herbal notes. Enhancing its elegance, the Parisian is usually served in a cocktail glass, embodying the chic, stylish vibes reminiscent of its namesake city.

Last Drop:

This visually striking cocktail is another fantastic choice. It pairs the dry, juniper-forward notes of gin with the tartness of sour mix, and the crème de cassis adds a touch of fruity sweetness, often forming a beautiful aesthetic gradient in the glass. Served in an elegant cocktail glass, the Last Drop offers a layered drinking experience, transitioning from the botanicals of gin and the sour tang to the rich, berry-like finish of the cassis. This cocktail appeals to those who enjoy a balanced drink with both a spirited kick and a hint of dessert-like indulgence.

Both of these options bring a unique twist to the table, so depending on whether you prefer a sophisticated blend like the Parisian or a more layered and visually interesting Last Drop, you can't go wrong!
