BlackCurrant Q&A

What are blackcurrants?

Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum), also known as black currant or cassis is a berry that grows on a shrub, traditionally found in northern Europe. Blackcurrants were once illegal to grow in the United States but the ban was lifted in 2003. Blackcurrant recipes and blackcurrant cocktails are starting to grow in popularity across the USA. 

What alcohol goes well with black currant?

Whiskey is an excellent choice to pair with black currant. Von Payne Black is the first to infuse whiskey with natural black currant, resulting in a taste profile that is slightly tart, subtly sweet, and incredibly smooth. This combination offers a unique flavor that stands out in cocktails.

What pairs well with black currants?

Black currants pair beautifully with a variety of flavors. Citrus fruits like lemon and lime enhance their tartness, while herbs like mint and ginger add a refreshing contrast.  They also complement the rich, caramel notes of aged whiskey, making Von Payne Black a perfect match.
