Kir Royale Recipe

The Kir Royale is a variation of the Kir, a classic French cocktail that combines fruit liqueur and white wine. In a Kir Royale, champagne is used instead of wine, which gives it a little something extra, and makes you feel fancy when you drink it. This drink is typically used as an apéritif (a cocktail served before a meal).

Ingredients:

• 1/2 oz Crème de Cassis or other fruit liqueur (options include Crème de Muir, Crème de Framboise, Crème de Pêche, or Chambord)

• 6 oz Champagne, chilled

• Fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or other fruit (optional)
