The winey depth of crème de cassis (black currant liqueur) hums softly in the background of this sparkly crimson aperitif from Rebekah Peppler’s cookbook À Table. Be sure to seek out dry white vermouth, such as Dolin Dry Vermouth de Chambéry, which is pale and aromatic, rather than sweeter blanc, or bianco, vermouth.
