    Kir / Kir Royale
Kir royale, wine cocktail of delight. Ingredients
1 tablespoon Crème de Cassis (alcoholic blackcurrant liquer from France)
Good quality chilled white or sparkling wine Method/steps
1 take a tall fluted glass and put in the Crème de Cassis then top up with sparkling wine. It should be a delicate bruised pink colour, or a little darker if you prefer it sweeter - put in less cassis and top up if you aren't sure.
2 Enjoy with good friends preferably on a beautiful sunny evening - also works well as an aperitif before a good dinner. Additional tips
Strictly speaking it should be made with Champagne but I prefer it with a good sparkling white, I like my Champagne unadulterated and flowing ;) Prosecco is a little faint for this (works better in a Bellini) so I'd use something Chardonnay based. Reviews
