The Kir Royale cocktail is a sparkling embodiment of French sophistication that is elegant and simple. This classic marries the deep berry richness of a blackcurrant liqueur known as crème de cassis with the crisp effervescence of bubbly champagne, creating a drink that is luxurious yet approachable.
Pour the crème de cassis into a chilled champagne flute glass to create a fruity base that does not overpower the bubbles.
To preserve effervescence and balance sweetness, gradually pour chilled champagne.
Avoid stirring, to preserve the wine’s bubbles and light texture, enabling the flavours to blend subtly as you sip.
Garnish with a fresh raspberry or lemon twist for a fragrant and visually pleasing finish. Serve immediately.
