I'll keep mine for New Year's Eve though I couldn't help ordering some bottles at Delices and Gourmandises, they may not really be the cheapest but they taste great.

Have you ever ordered cassis or cocktails liqueurs online? How much does a bottle of cassis cost on Delices and Gourmandises?

On the other hand > sterilising things is a pain ..... :( You do not lose anything by taking a couple minutes sterilizing your bottles. It will do good to you. Just a small tip when preparing blackcurrant cassis. Make sure you use a hand blender to puree the currants, then you have to remember to filter the bits of fruit and seeds out afterwards. This is best done with a coffee filter. You really have to work carefully to filter out all of this so that the flavour is as intense as can be.

A bottle of cassis should not cost much. Anyway making your own is more original and it could be cheaper as well.

Jeremy made a good point. When you order something online, the quality products must be on top otherwise there's no use to require to online food store. Delices and Gourmandises is not new for me though I haven't ordered something from them yet. I sometimes use French click or Chanteroy website but I will certainly try to order Delices and Gourmandises Brussels waffles if I don't have time for the recipe, they look yummy with the maple syrup filling.
