What does CASSIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sweet, syrupy liqueur made from blackcurrants, or the blackcurrant itself as used in cooking and drinks.
Cassis, French for blackcurrant, most often names crème de cassis, the dark, syrupy liqueur produced mainly around Burgundy and mixed with wine or sparkling wine to make drinks such as kir. English cookery and drinks writing also uses cassis loosely for the blackcurrant fruit and its flavour, as in a cassis sorbet or a cassis reduction served with meat. The word is borrowed directly from French and keeps its French pronunciation in most English use.
