Ingredients

Equipment

  • Champagne glass

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pour the crème de cassis into a Champagne glass, then top with Champagne and serve.

    Crème de cassis poured into a glass, followed by sparkling wine.
  2. Step 2: You can eyeball the amounts by color, take a sip, and adjust to taste. For a sweeter cocktail with a deeper red color, add more crème de cassis; for just a hint of blackcurrant, use less.

Notes

Brut sparkling wine or Cava works well. Avoid wine labeled sweet, since the crème de cassis is sweet too.
