CREMANT WITH BLACKCURRANT FOAM

A nice and simple idea for a modern version of a traditional cocktail called Kir Royal most of the times: sparkling wine with cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) – but with blackcurrant foam replacing the liqueur.

Ingredients for the blackcurrant foam

1 siphon

250 ml blackcurrant juice

100 g sugar cane syrup (14°)

2 gelatin leaves

Preparation and arranging of sparkling wine with blackcurrant foam

Soften the gelatin with cold water. Drain it. Melt in the microwave. Blend it into the blackcurrant juice and the sugar cane syrup. Insert the mixture into the siphon and gas twice for a siphon that contains 1 liter and once for a siphon that contains half a liter. Serve a glass of crémant or champagne and put the blackcurrant foam on top.
