The perfect holiday cocktail …

Raspberry Kir Royale

A traditional Kir Royale is made with creme de cassis, a dark currant liqueur.

I prefer Chambord, a raspberry liqueur.

It comes in an elegant bottle. A pretty addition to any bar.

Here’s what you’ll need …

1. Chambord

2. Champagne or a dry sparking wine

I used a 2016 Domaine Carneros Brut.

Did I tell you I worked for Domaine Carneros? That’s a story for another day.

A full bottle (750 ml) of Sparkling Wine will serve 4. And, a half bottle (375 ml) will serve 2.

3. Fresh Raspberries

Here’s what to do …

  1. Add 1/2 to 1-ounce Chambord to each flute.
  2. Top with a dry Champagne or sparking wine or Prosecco. Pour carefully (slowly) to avoid bubble over.
  3. Garnish with fresh raspberries.

Et voila!

If you want to be really fancy, you can rim each glass with sugar.

I found a non-alcoholic version of the Raspberry Kir Royale from Rachael Ray.

It looks delicious too!

 

Did you see  my Instagram video?! There may or may not have been a bubble-over incident.
