Oh wow, has this become my favorite cocktail. And it might *might* be the signature cocktail for my wedding! All the more proof that it’s that good. It’s a gin-based cocktail, with just a touch of black currant liqueur, and enough lemon juice to balance it all out. It’s boozy and sweet, without being overly sweet or packed with a bunch of unnecessary juice (between you and me, that’s one of my biggest cocktail pet peeves). The end result is something fresh but complex, which works wonderfully with a topper of club soda and a sprig of mint. Or you can just drink it on the rocks… which is also one of my absolute favorite things to do.
