I am French so there you go ^^ Creme de cassis is a strong liquor. It's quite expensive due to being alcohol (alcohol taxes and regulations) and generally being a luxury mixer at that. It's never drinked alone. It is not drinkable, it's very strong and it has a thick consistency akin to a smoothie. (You could try a sip but you're definitely not going to down a glass of that). Main use is a mixer for cocktails. The most common is "kir". Put a bit of creme de cassis at the bottom of the glass and fill the rest with a white wine. The fancy version is the "kir royale", using champagne in place of white wine.
