Kir Royale (French champagne cocktail)

tsp Creme de cassis ((blackcurrent liquor, Note 1))

185 milliliters/ 3/4 cup champagne or sparkling wine ((Note 2))

Pour creme de cassis in a champagne glass, then top with Champagne and serve!

In reality, you don&#x27;t need to measure - just eyeball it by colour, take a sip and adjust to taste! Some people like it sweeter, with a deeper red. Some people like just a tiny hint of blackcurrent.

I am basically a wine lover and not terribly keen on cocktails and other mixed drinks.  Kir Royale is special tho' - I use a rather dry French champagne and the best Creme de Cassis I can buy and love every drop.  Both I and many friends love to entertain at long Sunday brunches . . . the classic welcome drink there naturally is an Orange Blossom if not a Bloody Mary  . . but I have always loved to bring  out the blackberry syrup . . .
