Tag: crème de cassis

Crème de cassis is a sweet, dark red liqueur made from blackcurrants. It is typically made by macerating the blackcurrants in alcohol and sugar and then ageing the mixture for several months. Crème de cassis is used as an ingredient in many cocktails, such as the Kir, a French cocktail made with crème de cassis and white wine, and the Kir Royale, a variation of the Kir made with Champagne instead of white wine.
