A Kir Royale is an elegant cocktail made from Champagne and crème de cassis. One of the first things I did after I landed in Paris as a college exchange student was enjoy a Kir Royale with friends at a sidewalk café in the bustling Latin Quarter. I was tipsy by lunchtime, and instantly head-over-heels in love with Paris. A Kir Royale is a swanky apertif made from Champagne and crème de cassis, a viscous black currant liqueur. (When the drink is made from still wine instead of Champagne, it’s simply called a Kir.) For a bit of fun, I like to top the drinks with fresh raspberries, which float like festive little ice cubes. Feel free to substitute any sparkling wine for the Champagne.
