Notes

  1. Creme de cassis: This sweet liquor is made with blackcurrants.
  2. Champagne: Authentic Kir Royales must be made with French Champagne. If you substitute another dry sparkling wine such as Italian Prosecco or Spanish Cava, the drink is called a Kir Pétillant.
  3. Yield: This recipe makes 1 cocktail.
  4. Glassware: The Kir Royale cocktail is traditionally served in a fluted glass.
