French Martini

What is French Martini?

With this recipe, venerable bartender and distiller Allen Katz uses creme de cassis instead of Chambord, offering a slight update on the classic. As the currants in creme de cassis are sharper than the raspberries in Chambord, this tweak gives the cocktail a more spirit-forward, complex taste - but it's still recognizable as the French Martini, even though it leans more spirit-forward.
