What Is Creme de Cassis?
Creme de cassis sounds so fancy, but dont be intimidated.
The liqueur is made from blackcurrants, a tart and juicy little fruit popular in Europe.
It looks very dark in the bottle but adds a red hue to drinks once poured.
Its probably best known as an ingredient in the popular cocktail kir.
I tend to gravitate towards fizz, so the royale is my preference.
Any sparkling wine will do, as long as it’s dry and pretty good quality.
Save the super fancy champagne for the midnight toast.
Top with the sparkling wine and serve.
