ABOUT
Welcome back to the series where I show how you can swap one ingredient (here, a fruit liqueur) for another and create a “new” cocktail. Vodka provides a neutral base here, which allows for the other flavors to shine. Blackcurrant liqueur brings sweetness but a tart edge to help balance the drink. Cheers y’all!
