Kir Royal ABV
The Kir Royal has an ABV of approximately 13%, placing it in the medium range for cocktails.
Crème de cassis (20%) at 10ml combined with sparkling wine (12%) at 90ml creates roughly 13% alcohol content.
It's higher than a Mimosa (6%) or Bellini (8%), and similar to regular wine. Thanks to cassis's sweetness and the wine's effervescence, it feels smoother than its alcohol content suggests.

Kir Royal History
The original "Kir" takes its name from Félix Kir (1876-1968), the mayor of Dijon in France's Burgundy region.
Originally, Kir was made with white wine and crème de cassis. During World War II, Mayor Kir served this drink to diplomatic visitors to Dijon, making it famous.
Kir Royal is an upgraded version using Champagne (or sparkling wine) instead of white wine. True to its "Royal" name, it's a French classic cocktail perfect for celebrations and special occasions.
