Ingredients

Makes 1 drink.

Method

  1. Add the Chambord or Creme de Cassis to a Champagne Flute.
  2. Whilst holding the glass at a 45 degree angle (it helps to preserve the bubbles) top up the glass with Champagne.
  3. Garnish with a frozen blackberry.

Creme de Cassis

Creme de Cassis is a dark red liqueur made from blackcurrants and has been around since 1841.

For Creme de Cassis, we recommend:

Chambord

Chambod is a fruit-based liqueur. It was created in 1982 and is made from red and black raspberries, Madagascan vanilla, Morrocan citrus peel, honey, and Cognac.

It’s a lovely liqueur that’s particularly good poured over ice cream.

And I think that’s one of these reasons some people prefer to use Chambord over Creme de Cassis: they prefer the flavour of raspberry over blackcurrant, but also it’s sweeter.
