The Kir Royal is a sophisticated cocktail made by combining crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) with sparkling wine.
It merges the deep berry richness of crème de cassis with the light, effervescent crispness of sparkling wine, creating a refined and elegant drink.
With an alcohol content of around 11–13%, it’s relatively light yet offers a full and luxurious flavor.
Originating from Burgundy, France, the Kir Royal is an elevated version of the original Kir, made royal by substituting white wine with sparkling wine.
Perfect for romantic evenings, celebrations, or whenever you want to add a touch of elegance to the moment.
