Method
Cocktail
Prepare and Shake
Add 2 oz light rum, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz crème de cassis, 0.5 oz agave syrup and ice to a cocktail shaker. Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain
Double-strain the shaken mixture into a highball or Collins glass filled halfway with fresh ice to remove small ice chips and any pulp from the lime juice.
Finish & Garnish
Top with Soda
Gently top the strained cocktail with 3 oz chilled lime soda. Pour slowly over the back of a spoon or down the inside of the glass to preserve some effervescence and create a subtle layered appearance with the cassis.
Garnish and Serve
Lightly stir once to integrate the soda without losing too much fizz. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and drop 2–3 blackcurrants into the drink or add a few extra drops of cassis on top for aroma and visual contrast. Serve with a straw if desired.
