Key characteristics
About this liqueur
Marie Brizard's Crème de Cassis is a blackcurrant liqueur from France, made in the classic style of the category. Deep purple-red in colour, it delivers concentrated blackcurrant fruit in a smooth, syrupy base.
Expect ripe, jammy blackcurrant flavour with balanced sweetness and gentle acidity. Serve at 10–12°C as the classic partner to white or sparkling wine in a Kir or Kir Royale, or use it to add depth and colour to fruit-based cocktails at the bar.
Cassis Elegance
Ingredients
- 45 ml Marie Brizard Crème de Cassis
- 60 ml premium vodka
- 30 ml fresh lemon juice
- 20 ml simple syrup
- 15 ml dry vermouth
- 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
- Egg white (optional, for silky texture)
Method
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes
- Add the vodka, dry vermouth, and Marie Brizard Crème de Cassis
- Pour in the fresh lemon juice and simple syrup
- Add the Angostura bitters
- Add egg white if desired for a silky mouthfeel
- Shake vigorously for 12-15 seconds until well-chilled
- Double strain through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared glass

Serve
Serve in a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a single fresh blackcurrant skewered on a cocktail pick and placed across the rim. Express the oils from a lemon twist over the surface and drop it into the drink. The cocktail should have a silky, velvety appearance with a slight foam layer on top if egg white is used.
