Pro Tips

🍇 What is Crème de Cassis?

A sweet, dark red liqueur made from blackcurrants. Lejay and Mathilde are quality brands. It adds deep berry flavor and beautiful color.

🌟 Origin

Created by Jeffrey Morgenthaler at Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon. It quickly became a modern classic in the cocktail renaissance.

🔄 Variation

Try it with Chambord (raspberry liqueur) for a slightly different but equally delicious berry profile.
