Burgundy & Lyonnais — Burgundian Classics
Using any random white wine instead of Aligoté, which has the specific acidity the drink needs. Using cheap cassis syrup instead of genuine crème de cassis (the difference is dramatic). Making it too sweet by over-pouring the cassis. Using warm wine, which makes the drink taste cloying and flat. Stirring vigorously—a gentle pour is all that’s needed for mixing.
