Panic? Never.

Flavour	Best Mixer	Quickest Cocktail

Essential Serves Side-by-Side

1. Kir (the French Bistro Classic, Done Fast)

• 45ml Vedrenne Crème de Cassis

Method: Build in a chilled wine glass, give a quick stir. Top up if you need to match house pour size.

Glassware: Stemmed wine glass.

Garnish: Lemon twist or nothing at all.

Substitution tip: If you’re out of dry white, cheekily swap in prosecco to make a Kir Royale—you’ll find sparkling options right here.

2. Cassis Spritz (The Never-Say-‘No’ Highball)

• 40ml Vedrenne Crème de Cassis
• 90ml soda water
• 90ml dry sparkling wine

Method: Build over ice in a large wine glass. Gentle stir, then fill to top with more sparkling for the thirsty ones.

Glassware: Large wine or spritz glass loaded with ice.

Garnish: Fresh berries or a wedge of orange.

Substitution tip: Use tonic if you want a drier, slightly more grown-up take.

Practical Tips for Busy Bars & Eager Hosts

• Batching: The Kir and Cassis Spritz can be scaled up. Pre-batch the Cassis and wine in a clean jug. Add soda/sparkling just before serving.
• Glassware: If you’re short on coupes, rock everything in a stemmed wine glass. No one complains.
• Garnish: Don’t get precious. Lemon, lime, berries, or even edible flowers if you’ve got ‘em. But most nights, a twist is enough.
• Substitutions: If you run out of gin, grab vodka. If there’s no tonic, soda does the job. Vedrenne is forgiving—mistakes don’t taste like mistakes.
• Common Mistakes: Overpouring Cassis will make your drinks syrupy. Stick to recipe. Use real sparkling for spritzes, not pre-mixes.

What to Add to Cart (Vedrenne Edition)

• Vedrenne Crème de Cassis
• A house-favourite gin for sours and G&Ts
• Dry sparkling wine or champagne for spritzes and Kir Royale
• Classic dry white wine for the standard Kir

That’s it. Four bottles covers drinks for a crowd and keeps the backbar sharp. Order together, hit the $750 mark, get it delivered free across all of Queensland—no fuss.
