Kir (Royale)

by Edward Smith

You'll need:

15 ml crème de cassis
125 ml dry white wine or Champagne

Method:

  • Pour the cassis into a large wine glass
  • Add the wine. Alternatively, add champagne for a Kir Royale
  • Do not stir. The cassis is meant to be at the bottom so the drink gets sweeter as it diminishes. More white wine can then be added if desired
  • Serve with a lemon twist
