Definition of CASSIS. : a syrupy liquor of low alcoholic strength made from black currants and used chiefly as a flavoring and sweetening agent.
Dear Andy, Cassis refers to an intense black currant character, and most often it is used to refer to crÃ¨me de cassis, a darkly colored, sweet black currant flavored liqueur. This beverage dates back to the 16th century, when French monks produced it as a cure for snake bites, jaundice and wretchedness (seriously).
