Cassis should be Rachael Petach’s middle name.
A year and a half ago, she introduced C. Cassis, her Hudson Valley version of the French liqueur—the essential ingredient for a Kir. Now, with her local blackcurrant liqueur as a base (cassis means blackcurrant in French), she’s introduced a spritz. Some botanicals, honey, and citrus peels with seltzer added to the liqueur make for a refreshing, pleasantly fruity yet tart quencher at 5.4% alcohol by volume. You could go stronger, using it as a cocktail mixer, leaning on its affinity for gin or vodka.
