A plant originally from Europe, the blackcurrant bush has been cultivated since the Renaissance. Strongly established in France, this pretty berry, with its sweet and slightly bitter flavour is enjoyed both in dishes and drinks, notably in the famous crème de cassis. 

Le Sirop de MONIN Blackcurrant brings a sweet and fruity flavour with hints of bitterness to all of your creations, such as a Collins, Mojito and even in your smoothies!

Preparation tip:

Its rich, juicy and subtle taste of blackcurrant bud makes it an ideal ingredient to flavour wine based beverages: kir, spritzer or mulled wine. Into cocktails, white spirits will highlight its fruity berry taste and its vegetal and refreshing notes. Blackcurrant also marries well with coffee in cold applications like iced lattes or even a cold brew, and for more indulgency pair it with chocolate into a succulent mocha. I like to use it to bring a fruity flavour to a white iced tea, thirst quenching and delicious it is.
