Add a splash of blackcurrant liqueur to a glass of Champagne. In France, this sparkling aperitif is known as a Kir Royale or a Kir when made with white wine. Serve this light, fruity tipple with snacks before dinner.

This deep red liqueur is produced in France, where it’s known as crème de cassis. It’s made with organic blackcurrants and has a bold berry flavour. Sweet and tangy in equal measure, it’s a perfect match for sparkling wine.

Blackcurrant liqueur is wonderful in cocktails. Try pairing it with rye whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters for a fruity twist on a Manhattan. In the summer, it’s great in a spritz or a mojito.

Crème de cassis adds notes of berry sweetness to desserts, too. Use it to flavour ice cream or a berry coulis to drizzle over cheesecakes.
