Sourz Blackcurrant
Deep purple and a little less sweet than its red sisters. Sourz Blackcurrant has the full flavor of blackcurrant with a tart finish, making it the Sourz that pairs best with tonic and bubbles.
Cassis with a tart twist
Sourz Blackcurrant is made with blackcurrant, the fruit you know from crème de cassis. The difference lies in the finish: while cassis is heavy and sweet, Blackcurrant finishes fresh and tart, like all Sourz. The alcohol content is 15%.
This combination makes it less sweet than Red Berry and works well in drinks with a hint of bitterness or dryness. With tonic, you get a purple highball with depth; with bubbles, a fresher Kir Royale; and in a Bramble, it takes the place of blackberry liqueur.
