Kir Royale Recipe

The Kir Royale cocktail combines a measure of creme de cassis, a blackcurrant-flavored liqueur, with sparkling Champagne to create an elegant drink. Topped with a slice of lemon or fresh blackberries, this cocktail offers a balance of sweet berry notes and crisp effervescence. Traditionally served in a chilled fluted glass, it suits occasions where a refined, sparkling beverage is welcome.

Ingredients

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a chilled fluted glass, add 1 ounce creme de cassis. Top with Champagne and garnish.

Notes

  • Use authentic French Champagne as the classic Kir Royale calls for it; other sparkling wines create a different cocktail known as Kir Pétillant.
  • Chill the fluted glass in advance to keep the cocktail cool and preserve carbonation.
  • This recipe yields one cocktail; adjust proportions accordingly for multiple servings.
  • Garnish with a thin lemon slice or fresh blackberries to complement the drink visually and flavor-wise.
