C. Cassis is your bar cart’s
best friend.
Made from vibrant berries,
revived in New York—
this is American Cassis,
fresh and botanical.
How we enjoy…
Yes, it’s perfect in a Kir Royale,
but that’s just the start.
Swap it for vermouth in a Negroni, or for triple sec and cranberry in a Cosmo. Or enjoy it simply—
neat, on ice, or with a splash of sparkling water.

How it’s made.
C. Cassis can last up to a year in the fridge.
If left unrefrigerated, it will evolve over time, developing more oxidative, nutty notes and less bright fruit. It will remain interesting and still reflective
of the berries we love for up
to three months.
It’s a great bar companion because a half ounce can brighten up everythng from a margarita to a gin martini.
A little goes a long way!
Outlawed berries.
Blackcurrants, prized for their bold, tart flavor and health benefits, have been enjoyed across Europe for centuries. In France, they star in the classic crème de cassis, while in the UK they flavor jams, candies, and the wartime staple Ribena.
But in the early 20th century, blackcurrants were banned in
the U.S. due to a threat to the logging industry,
causing the fruit to fade from American life.
That changed in 2003 when New York botanist Greg Quinn
helped lift the ban. We now buy much of our fruit from
the same botanist!
Here are
just some of
the magical
things that
blackcurrants can do…
Packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, blackcurrants have long been used in traditional herbal medicine. Like many berries, they’re rich in both macro- and micro-nutrients—making them a true superfood that supports your whole body.
They contain more ascorbic acid than raspberries and blueberries. Ascorbic acid not only acts as an antioxidant but also supports collagen production and the synthesis of certain peptide hormones.
Voilà beautiful skin!
Immune System
Blackcurrants can help boost the immune system. One study found that blackcurrant supplements helped people exercise harder and longer.
Anti-inflammatory
Blackcurrants contain anthocyanins, which have anti-inflammatory properties.
Antioxidants
Blackcurrants contain anthocyanins, which are antioxidants that give the fruit its dark color. They help fight free radicals, which can reduce oxidative stress and cell damage.
Brain Health
Blackcurrant juice may help improve cognitive performance and slow cognitive decline.
Vitamin C
Blackcurrants are a rich source of vitamin C, with 20 grams of the fruit providing the recommended daily allowance.
Eye Health
Blackcurrants may help increase ocular blood flow in people with glaucoma.
