The Kir Royale is a simple French classic that evolved from the Kir, a drink made with white wine and crème de cassis. By swapping in Champagne, it became something more celebratory without losing its charm.
The blackcurrant liqueur adds colour and a gentle sweetness, while the sparkling wine keeps it light and elegant. It is a drink that relies entirely on good ingredients. It is also one of the easiest ways to elevate a glass of bubbles.
