Kir Royal, I.B.A.
SEE ALL LESSONS

The Kir Royal is a simple and refined cocktail, made with 2 French ingredients, crème de cassis, a currant-based liqueur, and champagne. A refined variant of Kir, made with still white wine instead of champagne, ideal for receptions and aperitifs in general. Kir was born in 1904 in France, in Burgundy, thanks to a waiter at the Café George in Dijon who added a white wine to the crème de cassis to create a particular drink. Initially the cocktail was called Cassis Blanc, until it became famous thanks to the mayor of the city, Felix Kir, who promoted it as an excellence of the city and to whom the name of the cocktail was dedicated.

Ingredients
