A type of black currant liqueur, Cassis is popular in spirits and cocktails in European countries like France. Some of the popular cocktails with the liqueur include Kir, which is the liqueur mixed with white wine, Cherry Cobbler, and Naked Pretzel.

The answer is 'KIR' think your doing the same clues and arrows as me. :)
Vermouth sauce is generally a reduction of dry vermouth with chicken stock and herbs. If you have made a roast chicken for example, you can use the vermouth to deglaze the roasting pan.
PCH answer : Barley Vermouth is made from White Wine flavoured with herbs and spices (not barley)
Champagne. Kir is made with white wine & crème de cassis (which is a blackcurrant liquour) Kir Royale is made with champagne & crème de cassis. There are several other variations, such as a Kentucky Royale, which is made with champagne, crème de cassis, and bourbon.
The name for it is a "Martini" Lots of different takes on it, but basically it is Gin, French Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat), Tonic Water, Lemon Twist. Some say ice, some say no ice to be true to the original. Some say no tonic water. Some say 1/3 Tonic, 1/3 Gin, 1/3 Vermouth. Some say 6/10 Gin to 4/10 Vermouth. Some say Sweet Vermouth is OK. Some say twist of lemon rind for fragrance. Some say slice of lemon. Some say lemon and mint garnish. I am not sure what the orignal recipe really is, but I think it was Gin, Vermouth, and Tonic, no ice. Greer Garson ordered it from Reginal Owen in 'Random Harvest' and got it in what looks like a tall shot glass.
Creme de Cassis.
A drink made from Yoghurt is Lassi
If you ask for a Martini, the bartender or waiter will usually as how you like them made. The usual answer is something like "four to one with a twist" meaning four parts gin to one part dry vermouth garnished with a lemon twist. If you want less vermouth (which does not improve the flavour), you can ask for a "very dry" Martini. If you want equal parts gin and vermouth, which was the proportion back in the late 19th century when the drink was invented, you can ask for a "Fifty-Fifty".
It is a gin or vodka martini made with no vermouth
It's called tea.
Anything that's made from, or has been mixed with, currants while being made. Creme de Cassis is an example.
