Ingredients

  • 1 fluid ounce Creme de cassis
  • ~3 fluid ounce French Sparkling Wine chilled, to top up *see Notes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Pour crémant de cassis into your glass.
  3. Top it up with the sparkling wine (champagne or crémant).
  4. 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.
