Kir Royale is a classic French cocktail combining crème de cassis 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!
