I was inspired by one of your videos about how to create your own cocktails and really loved the “bourbon renewal” specs so I played around with those to create my own original. The name comes from the creme de cassis being derived from black currants and black currants at one point got banned or “forbidden”. It is a gin sour at its core but I’ve made it a number of times into something I really enjoy drinking. Really dig your channel and it’s gotten me into cocktails big time. Thanks man!
