  • 1tsp Soft Brown Sugar
  • Sprig of Mint
  • Soda Water

Shake the rum, cassis, sugar, lime juice and mint together with some ice cubes then pour into a tumbler of crushed ice. Top with soda water, pop in a wedge 
of lime and add a sprig of mint. Delicious.

2. Nude

On the rocks

  • British Cassis
  • Ice
  • Lemonade or Soda (optional)

Drop two cubes of ice into a frosted liqueur glass and immerse them in a liberal measure of British Cassis. A sophisticated aperitif. Add lemonade or soda for a longer alternative.

 

1.    British Royale

An Anglo-French Romance

  • British Cassis
  • Champagne or Prosecco
  • Blackcurrants

What cassis cocktail list would be complete without the classic Kir Royale, made elegantly British with British Cassis. This simple and elegant drink is a celebration of champagne and fruity and tart cassis. Served in a champagne flute the Kir Royale is lively on the palette and refined on the eye. You can even buy a British Cassis Kir Royale Valentines gift pack to make the experience even easier. This is one you can have fun making together in the kitchen.
