History

A Cognac sour balanced and flavoured with crème de cassis's rich blackcurrant notes.

This cocktail was adapted in January 2023 from the Three Hundred Poems cocktail, with a suggestion from Simon Stevenson's wife. The reformulation and naming of this collaborative cocktail were undertaken by the author.
