Fans of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot mysteries may recall that the French detective had a sweet tooth and was partial to a drink made with blackcurrant syrup. In this cocktail, crème de cassis provides the blackcurrant flavor Poirot loved. But perhaps, if offered a Cocktail Cassis Fruits des Bois, he would have requested a spoonful of sugar in his glass, for the cocktail's sweetness comes solely from the fruit in it.
