Some of the most exciting beverages coming out of the Hudson Valley these days aren’t been made from grapes, apples or grains. Nope. Cassis is made using currants, and many of the versions produced in the Hudson Valley are intense and bright on their own or blended into other adult beverages.
Now, Hudson Valley cassis has its own website, HudsonValleyCassis.com
Though still a curiosity to many, 20,000 bottles of cassis will be sold in the region this year, making the Hudson Valley the number one producer of artisanal cassis in North America and the Western Hemisphere. And it seems like new producers are popping up every year.
