Crème de Cassis - Blackcurrant Liqueur

Crème de cassis is a beautifully rich blackcurrant liqueur that has a real fruity kick to it. This is the perfect gift for anyone who loves their spirits, and it really sings of those late summer and early autumn days. Giving someone a customised bottle of crème de cassis is a wonderful gesture, as this beautiful liqueur is difficult to come by in regular stores and is something a little different. It’s perfect drunk on its own if you want to fully savour the deep blackcurrant flavour, but it can also act as the base for a number of fantastic cocktails.

You could try pairing crème de cassis with champagne, for a classic Kir Royal cocktail. For a more exotic El Diablo, crème de cassis can be mixed with tequila and ginger ale, or you might opt for a simple Sweet Caroline by mixing it with Angostura bitters and tonic water.
