Black Magic Margarita
A Margarita built on blackcurrant. Cassis goes where the triple sec would, so the sweetening arrives as Ribena rather than orange - the adult version of what every Kiwi kid grew up drinking. Lime holds it tart, and black salt on the rim reads differently against fruit than it does against plain agave.
