Kir Royale is a classic French cocktail combining Kir with Champagne. Easy as pie, but sophisticated and snazzy and just what you need to get into the festive spirit of the Bastille festival!

Ingredients:

15 ml Crème de cassis

150 ml Leopard’s Leap Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir

Maraschino cherries for garnish

Method

Pour the Crème de cassis into a Champagne flute.

Top slowly with Leopard’s Leap Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir (best to pour down the side of the glass for less intense foam).

Garnish with Maraschino cherries.

Santé!
