Kir Royale - Champagne or prosecco complemented with crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) for an elegant and fresh drink. Popular as an aperitif with its slightly sweet flavor.
The Kir Royale is a classic champagne cocktail that originated in Dijon, France. It takes its name from the fact that it is a more luxurious and "royal" version of the original Kir cocktail; while the classic Kir uses white wine, the Kir Royale is made with champagne or prosecco. The sweet and intense aroma of Crème de Cassis combines with the refreshing structure of sparkling wine to create a sophisticated and elegant aperitif. Especially preferred in French bar culture for afternoon or evening aperitifs, Kir Royale is a classic drink worldwide with its visual appeal and light fruity aroma. It is easy to serve, elegant in appearance and balanced in flavor, making it popular both in elite bars and at home parties.
