Kir Royale
Sparkling wine always sets a festive mood for a celebration, especially when it has a splash of cassis (black currant liqueur), which turns the drink a pretty rosy color.
Ingredients
- 5 fl. oz. (155 ml) chilled Champagne or sparkling wine
- 2 tsp. crème de cassis
- 1 lemon twist for garnish
Directions
Pour the Champagne and crème de cassis into a Champagne flute and stir gently. Garnish with the lemon twist. Serves 1.
