This refreshing cocktail balances the clean bite of vodka with the bright acidity of lemon and the deep, fruity notes of crème de cassis. The addition of simple syrup rounds out the edges, while a final splash of sparkling wine adds a lively, effervescent lift. Served over ice in a tall glass, it is a light and elegant choice for warm evenings or as a sophisticated pre-dinner drink. The blackberry garnish ties the flavours together beautifully.
