Drink Recipes - Kir

A cocktail made with a measure of crème de cassis (blackcurrant liquor) topped up with white wine.

Served: "Straight up"; without ice
Standard drinkware: Champagne flute

Ingredients:

9cl (9 parts) white wine
1cl (1 part) crème de cassis

Preparation: Add the crème de cassis to the bottom of the flute, then top up with wine .

Besides the basic Kir, a number of variations exist:

Kir Royal - made with Champagne
Kir Pétillant - made with sparkling wine
Cardinal - made with red wine instead of white
Kir Imperial - made with raspberry liqueur instead of cassis, and Champagne
Kir Normand - made with Normandy cider instead of wine.
Kir Breton - made with cider from Brittany instead of wine.
Cidre Royal - made with cider instead of wine, with a measure of calvados added.

Young American bartenders are increasingly (and mistakenly) using Chambord when one orders a Kir Royal, so it is important to specify that you want it with crème de cassis.
