Ingredients

1 fluid ounce creme de cassis
~3 fluid ounce sparkling wine chilled, to top up *see Notes, French

Instructions

Cup of Yum

Keep your glass ready, the chilled sparkling wine and the crémant de cassis. Shake the crémant de cassis bottle a bit before opening the bottle. Open your champagne/crémant bottle.
Pour crémant de cassis into your glass.
Top it up with the sparkling wine (champagne or crémant).
Serve up cooled. You can add a garnish, or we enjoyed our kir royale with pink french biscuits.

Notes

French sparkling wine can be either classic champagne or crémant. Both are the same, but champagne comes from the Champagne region in particular.
1 fl oz = 2 Tablespoons/3 cl/ 30 ml/ 1 shot
3 fl oz = 6 Tablespoons/ 9 cl/ 90 ml/ 3 shots
The crème de cassis is sweet and it makes one tipsy.
Therefore, the ratio for the crème cassis is 1:5 and the sparkling wine 4:5 in this recipe because the liqueur is super sweet and I think the result is much better than splitting it into 4.
