Crème de cassis, brandy, lemon juice, and sparkling wine are often mixed together. Here, they are bought together in an effervescent, citrussy floral berry Daisy.

Just the right balance of sweet to tart. There’s no booziness at all which I think would make the overall cocktail better. I’m thinking of trying this with some bourbon.

Used Courvoisier, St. Germain, Mathide CdC, and Korbel Brut. Was extremely delicious both with and without the champagne. Great for a cognac newbie, boozy brunch, Mother's Day, etc.
