I was at the American Library Association annual meeting that was held in Chicago last week, and after a day of talking about the book you would like to see in every library across the country, elbowed your way to get a free book autographed by the author, accumulated enough truly fabulous bags so that you will never need another grocery sack as long as you can hold in to what you have, and viewed more ways to check out a book than you can shake a stick at, one needs to unwind at the end of the day.
This cocktail was a welcome end to one of those days.
2 oz bourbon
1 oz creme de cassis
soda water to taste
The original recipe calls for lemon juice and bitters, but the restaurant where I had this eliminated all bittering agents, and I really liked the results--it is refreshing and on the sweet side. You can add an ounce of lemon juice if you want to counteract the sweet and fruity aspects of the creme de cassis, but that is what I liked about this drink.
