- [Kir Royale](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/kir-royale.md): A sparkling Burgundian aperitif in which blackcurrant deepens dry Champagne without suppressing its acidity or fine bubbles.
- [Russian Spring Punch](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/russian-spring-punch.md): Cassis and lemon give vodka a vivid blackcurrant-sour core before dry sparkling wine stretches it into a cold, dangerous party drink.
- [Vermouth-Cassis](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/vermouth-cassis.md): Dry vermouth, blackcurrant liqueur, and soda make a light French highball whose vinous acidity keeps the dark fruit brisk rather than jammy.
