Default Damons? Plums?

The message
from Sacha contains these words:


Cassis is certainly blackcurrants but you can ask for a Kir Mūres in France
and get the blackberry version. *I don't like Kir Cassis though a Kir
Framboise will do if I'm absolutely pushed. *;-)


Strawberries steeped in whisky with added sugar make a fine liqueur, and
you'd never know the spirit was whisky.


I made a bottle with wild strawberries this year, and it was rather
disappointing.


Strange, since wild have a much more intense flavour, but I had the same
experience.



The next batch will be with cultivated strawbs.

I like all Kirs but Casis de Dijon is still my favourite in Kir
Royale.
