Kir Royale Cocktail

(1 tablespoon) Chambord

brut (dry) Champagne

raspberry

Pour the Chambord into a Champagne flute. While holding the glass at a 45-degree angle (this helps preserve the bubbles), gently pour in the Champagne.

Garnish with a raspberry, if you&#8217;d like. Serve immediately.

Best drink ever! Chambord is my preferences!
Thank you!

When I visited France many years ago, I  drank a Kir. They were made with Chablis and crème de cassis. I always thought that if you made a drink with champagne and chambord that was a Kir Royale. The chambord was poured into the flute slowly to make a ring which signifies a “crown”. Hence, the Royale designation.

Kir Royale is fantastic! I love the different variations you’ve listed here. Exquisite!

Funny, I've been drinking Kirs and Kir  Royales for decades and never searched for a recipe until today.  Better late than never I guess.  I am curious about the comment regarding your inability to find good Creme de Cassis in the states.  Are you unable to get Mathilde or do you not consider it good?

Thanks

Chambord is my favorite for Champagne cocktails, but this post is the first place I've seen someone actually recommend that!  Brava!  (NB I generally make them with prosecco / cava / crément unless real Champagne is on sale....)

I beg to differ on the Chambord - I prefer creme de cassis. But either way it's a pretty good cocktail. A twist of lemon peel makes a pretty garnish, and softens the sweetness ever so slightly.
