Instructions
- Pour Creme de Cassis: Pour 2 teaspoons of creme de cassis into a chilled champagne flute to form the flavorful base of the cocktail.
- Add Champagne: Slowly top up the glass with 185 ml (3/4 cup) of chilled champagne or sparkling wine to preserve the bubbles and mix gently.

Notes

- Creme de cassis is a blackcurrant liqueur that can vary in sweetness; adjust quantity accordingly.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling grape juice and use blackcurrant syrup instead of liqueur.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the bubbles at their best.
