Clear Creek Cassis Liqueur

Clear Creek Cassis is Oregon's answer to Crème de Cassis — and the bottle that makes a Kir Royale worth drinking. A wonderful Portland restaurant suggested that Clear Creek make a liqueur similar to what the French call Crème de Cassis from Oregon blackcurrants — and the result is truly wonderful: an intensely tart, lightly sweet, slightly earthy liqueur with huge fruit flavor. The blackcurrants come from a farm less than half an hour from the distillery — they arrive still warm from the sun with their woody little tops still attached, and are immediately dumped into Clear Creek's clear un-aged brandy. After months of maceration, the solids are pressed off and some sugar is added. The French inspiration is obvious in every sip — the depth and tannic backbone that defines great cassis is fully present here, but with a distinctly Pacific Northwest character that makes it entirely its own. Put a splash in your bubbly and you're immediately transported to the Parisian cafes that made the classic Kir and Kir Royale so popular. Use it in cocktails, over ice cream, or anywhere a recipe calls for genuine blackcurrant depth. Buy Clear Creek Cassis Liqueur online with fast shipping right to your door.
