J.J. Whitley Blackcurrant Vodka 70cl, Purple

Product Information

Use a potato masher to mash the blackcurrants and then bring them to a boil—this makes them give out all of their taste and aroma. Blackcurrants are a tart and tangy fruit that pair perfectly with the sweetness of the rum and lime.

Cassis liqueur is a black currant-flavored spirit that can be enjoyed on its own or used in cocktails.

There is something so satisfying about pouring a drink for your friends and when they lick their lips and enthuse over the amazing taste, you can say proudly that you made it yourself. Vodka is a common spirit that is used in cocktails, but other liquors such as bourbon, scotch, or gin can also be used. Spiced blackcurrant vodka is so easy to make and a great way of using up all those blackcurrants if you have a few bushes in the garden that have gone completely mad and you find yourself with oodles of blackcurrants and want to do something a bit more adult than jam with them.

Roast the grouse simply and spruce it up with a whisky, beetroot and blackcurrant sauce – with a dash of crème de cassis for good measure. Crush the leaves slightly by hands, put them in the bottom of a 3-liter jar, pour over with caraway and chilled berries.This sweet berry ripens in July – just as Swedes take their well-deserved vacation after having survived yet another long, cold and dark winter. A blackcurrant cocktail is a drink that combines blackcurrant juice or syrup with other ingredients to create a refreshing beverage.
