1/2 Creme de Casis
4-6 oz Ginger Beer
Squeeze lime in the glass, fill with ice, pour Tequila, Creme de Casis, fill with Ginger Beer.
This was easy to make, real tasty and we will have it again I am sure.

I see this drink posted on January 20, 2015, not too long ago, by hiltiki and nu'umi'umi.

I'm going to try this. The only tequila I have is Don Julio, so I'll bet this will be pretty good.

As with so many other drinks, there are a number variations on this -- how much lime juice and tequila and ginger beer to use, shake it or stir it, etc. It helps me to know the origin, or find the recipe published in a book, that way I don't fret about not knowing who made adjustments and why.

There are several Cassis liqueurs available. The best I have found is Jules Theuriet Creme de Cassis De Dijon. I have to mail order it from drinkupny, and it's totally worth it. At this time it's about $15 for 375ml plus shipping.
