C. Cassis Sparkling Blackcurrant Aperitif 4-pack

FROM C. CASSIS:

THE SPRITZ: A sparkling blackcurrant cocktail made with only real ingredients. Our C.Cassis Spritz brings together lightly fermented Hudson Valley blackcurrants, with vibrant botanicals, citrus peel, crisp seltzer, and just a touch of wild honey.

THE PRODUCER: C. Cassis is made by Rachael Petach in the Hudson Valley, just a few miles from where our blackcurrants are grown.

Back in 1841 in Burgundy, France, the Cassis gospel quickly spread to the United States where distillers began growing their own blackcurrants. However, U.S. production came to a halt in the beginning of the 20th century when it was discovered that the plant was a potential threat to white pine. It wasn't until 2003 that a New York botanist made blackcurrants his mission, and the ban was overturned in New York State. We now buy much of our fruit from that same botanist.
