Champagne Flute

Glass Guide- Champagne Flute

The bitterness of blackcurrant berries used in the creme de cassis is offset by the smooth, richness of the almond amaretto in this Champagne cocktail. The Axis Kiss is perfect for New Year's celebrations and intimate Valentine's Day dinners.

Ingredients:

  • dash of amaretto almond liqueur
  • dash of creme de cassis
  • chilled Champagne

Preparation:

  1. Pour the amaretto and creme de cassis into a Champagne flute.
  2. Gently top with Champagne.

Make the drink sweeter with larger dashes of amaretto and creme de cassis.
