Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is crème de cassis the way the French aperitif tradition intends it: a blackcurrant liqueur from the Saintonge region of southwestern France, bottled at a gentle 16% ABV and built around the concentrated flavor of ripe blackcurrants. In the glass it pours a deep ruby red, and the nose is fresh, tart-sweet cassis with a light earthy undertone. The palate is velvety rather than syrupy, with the sweetness kept in check by a gentle tartness and quiet hints of blackberry and something floral before a long, fruity finish. It suits anyone building a proper home bar who wants a Kir or Kir Royale that tastes of fruit rather than candy, and it earns its place in gin and vodka drinks like the Bramble and French Martini. We carry it because a good cassis is one of the most useful bottles on a back bar, and Mathilde, with a history the producer traces to the 19th century, delivers honest blackcurrant character across cocktails, dessert and the occasional small neat pour.
Pairs well with
- Vanilla ice cream and berries — A small drizzle adds concentrated blackcurrant and gentle tartness that lifts the creamy sweetness of vanilla and echoes fresh berries.
- Summer evening aperitif hour — Mixed into a Kir with dry white wine, its tart-sweet cassis makes a refreshing, lightly sweet start to an evening meal.
- Celebration toast with bubbles — Topped with Champagne or Prosecco as a Kir Royale, its ruby color and juicy blackcurrant fruit bring an elegant touch to any celebration.
