Currant Events with Cheese Pairings
A gin-based cocktail bursting with berry.
A bright, berry-tinged cocktail, Currant Events is easy to make and easy to drink. The citrusy, botanical flavors of gin are elevated with a dollop of Murray’s own Wild Blueberries Preserves and a splash of crème de cassis, a currant liqueur with dark-berry sweetness and a rich purple hue. Add some bright lemon and fizzy tonic, and you’ve got the ultimate spring cocktail. Plus, three perfect cheese pairings that will make this tart, fruity cocktail shine.
