1
Chill glass and ingredients
Chill a champagne flute in the refrigerator or freezer for 10–15 minutes. Ensure the sparkling wine and crème de cassis are cold before assembling.
2
Add liqueur
Pour 0.5 oz (about 15 ml) of crème de cassis into the bottom of the chilled champagne flute.
3
Top with sparkling wine
Hold the flute at a slight angle and slowly pour 4 oz (about 120 ml) of chilled Champagne or dry sparkling wine down the side to preserve bubbles and avoid foaming over. Pour gently until the glass is nearly full, leaving a small head of foam.
4
Garnish and serve
If using, drop 1–2 fresh raspberries or a couple of blackcurrants into the glass, or twist a lemon peel over the top to express oils and drop it in or rest on the rim. Serve immediately while cold and effervescent.
