Kir Royale
By: Helene DSouza from Masala Herb
"The Kir royal is a sophisticated French cocktail that combines crème de cassis liqueur with French sparkling wine. In French, it is also called Kir pétillant. This refined drink is a modern twist on the traditional Kir, which traditionally mixes Crème de cassis with Bourgogne Aligoté white wine. In France, Kir is typically associated with white wine. It is a favored choice for social gatherings, often served alongside amuse-bouche appetizers or as a prelude to a special meal. "
