La Liqueur de Monin Cassis De Dijon

La Liqueur de Monin Cassis de Dijon is a blackcurrant liqueur from Monin, the French syrup and liqueur house based in Bourges. It offers the deep, dark flavour of ripe blackcurrants at 16% in the 700ml bottle, the fruit built on high quality extracts in the traditional macerated style for a liqueur of real berry depth and a slight natural tartness.

The nose is strong on berry, blackcurrant above all, with a touch of fruit acidity and subtle sweetness, the palate full and fruity with juicy cassis and a tart freshness, the finish long with a fine acid structure. In a drink it adds jammy colour, sweetness and a tart edge that keeps it from cloying, the classic role of cassis behind a Kir, a Kir Royal or a Bramble. A measure also turns sparkling wine or prosecco into a fruity aperitif, or lifts a tonic into something darker and sweeter.
