2 oz Vodka (American, such as Wheatley)
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc

1⁄4 oz Cassis
2 ds Bitters, Angostura (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir all ingredients except bitters with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Top with two dashes of Angostura.

History

We were trying to make Death's Door to get rid of almost spent bottles of gin and Averna. Instead, we picked up the American vodka by accident and realized there was no turning back. Without gin, the drink needed some bitters and Angostura was a perfect match.
