Instructions
- Pour the crème de cassis into the bottom of a champagne flute.
- Top with champagne and garnish with raspberries.
Notes
- Chill Your Ingredients: Ensure both your champagne and liqueur are well-chilled before mixing. This keeps the cocktail refreshing and helps maintain the effervescence of the champagne.
- Proportion is Key: Aim for the right balance between the liqueur and champagne. A classic ratio is about 1 part liqueur to 5 parts champagne, but feel free to adjust to your personal taste. Too much liqueur can overpower the drink, while too little might be underwhelming.
- Pour Carefully: Start by pouring the Crème de Cassis or Chambord into the glass first, then gently add the champagne. This method ensures the ingredients mix naturally without needing to stir, preserving the bubbles.
- Use the Right Glassware: A champagne flute is ideal here. Its tall and narrow shape not only showcases the cocktail’s elegance but also helps concentrate the aromas and preserve the carbonation.
- Garnish Thoughtfully: Adding a fresh raspberry or two not only looks beautiful but can also enhance the flavor. Ensure the raspberries are fresh and firm. You can garnish with a lemon twist to add a zesty aroma.
- Quality Matters: Use a good quality champagne or sparkling wine. The better the base, the better the cocktail. Even though it’s being mixed with a liqueur, the nuances of a good champagne can really elevate the overall taste.
