I paired the Cassiopeia box with an equally lovely cocktail which combines cognac, Campari and maraschino liqueur (and I am not talking about neon red maraschino cherry juice, heaven forbid, but fine cherry liqueur).  A three ingredient drink which includes Campari is almost always a Negroni variation in my opinion, so is automatically off to a good start.  This combination works incredibly well, with a great balance of flavors and complexity.  It’s called the “Compass Rose”, and I will leave its connection with the Cassiopeia box for you to contemplate.  Look to the night sky for a little mythological or mixological inspiration of your own.  Cheers!
