Notes
French sparkling wine can be either classic champagne or crémant. Both are the same, but champagne comes from the Champagne region in particular.
1 fl oz = 2 Tablespoons/3 cl/ 30 ml/ 1 shot
3 fl oz = 6 Tablespoons/ 9 cl/ 90 ml/ 3 shots
The crème de cassis is sweet and it makes one tipsy.
Therefore, the ratio for the crème cassis is 1:5 and the sparkling wine 4:5 in this recipe because the liqueur is super sweet and I think the result is much better than splitting it into 4.
