Recipe

• 1 part crème de cassis

• 2 parts water

Mix in a glass with ice.

Since the UK sugar levy was introduced, the recipe for Ribena has changed, and it’s just not as nice as it used to be. Sure, it’s blackcurranty, but with a certain extra weird taste that’s not really wanted.

Fortunately, adults have crème de cassis, which is the same thing but 20% alcohol! And its recipe hasn’t changed at all.

This tastes exactly like ribena used to, but also gets you hammered. So it’s good! What else can I say?

Sorry for the blurry picture. Scotland had just won the Calcutta Cup, our takeaway had just arrived, and I was in no fit state to be photographing anything.
