Another Perfect Holiday Cocktail … Raspberry Kir Royale Recipe

December 17, 2020 By Juliet 9 Comments

Beverage Bar Decorated for Christmas

Are you ready for another perfect holiday cocktail?

A cocktail to see you through Christmas and New Year’s …

even Valentine’s Day.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

The perfect holiday cocktail …

Raspberry Kir Royale

Kir Royale on a tray

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

Chambord bottle and Christmas tree

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.

Sparkling Wine and. Kir Royale and Christmas Tree

3. Fresh Raspberries

Sparkling wine, Chambord, Raspberries, Christmas tree

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!

Kir Royale and Christmas Tree

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.

      I’m betting on the Italian to have everything required … maybe he’ll substitute Prosecco?! Cheers! xo

Following a week of much sadness our family had a Following a week of much sadness our family had a fun night out to celebrate Jim's 65th birthday. It felt good to laugh, feel loved and to have honest conversation about anything and everything. 

Today on the blog it's Weekend Meanderings with Kim and Elizabeth. The tragedy in Uvalde weighs heavily on our minds and Kim has written eloquently on how we can make difference. 

As for me, I'm sharing my Cannes Film Festival experience, excitement about going to the movies this weekend, gin based spritzer and a bunch of other stuff. Including the pillows in this gorgeous photo from the Kit Kemp Collection for Annie Selkie.

I hope you'll join me, Kim and Elizabeth, today for a bit of shelter from the storm.  Links to our blogs in our profiles.

Cocktails anyone?! It’s Friday ... traditionally Cocktails anyone?! It’s Friday ... traditionally cocktail night at Snowberry. Not tonight. But not to worry, I have cocktail recipes. You know I'm all about weddings (did you read my all-secrets-revealed blog post about @zzzissou and @melodymakhfi wedding? Linked in profile. 😉.) ... so today I'm sharing recipes for Kyle and Melody's signature cocktails.

Hers - Jalapeno Margarita with a Tajin rim (a must, says the bride)

1.5 oz Blanco tequila
Juice of two limes
1 tsp Agave nectar
1 Jalapeno (seeds & ribs removed)
Tajin rimming salt
Lime wedge rim glasses
Jalapeno & lime slice for garnish

Rub lime wedge around rim of glass. Dip rim into Tajin rimming salt. And fill with ice. Muddle jalapeno in cocktail shaker. Add ice, tequila, lime juice and agave. Shake vigorously. Strain into prepared glass. Garnish with jalapeño and lime slices.

His - Old Fashioned (Jim loves an Old Fashioned too, like father like son)

1.5 oz Bourbon
1 sugar cube
A few dashes Angostura bitters
A few dashes of water
Orange slice & cocktail cherry for garnish

Place sugar cube in old fashioned glass, add bitters & water. Muddle until dissolved. Fill glass with ice. Add bourbon. Gently stir. Garnish with orange slice (or zest) and cocktail cherry.

Cheers to you, the happy couple and the weekend! 🥃

It's not too late to check out Weekend Meanderings It's not too late to check out Weekend Meanderings ... on the blog. 

This week I'm extolling the virtues of cinnamon raisin toast. But not just cinnamon raisin toast. A favorite blogger’s new book. You won't believe this but she recently bought a house in our old @myfidalgoislandhome neighborhood? A new-to-me interior design podcast. And inexpensive but well made serving platters ... essential for summer entertaining. Last but not least what my dermatologist recommended for my dry skin. 

You can follow the link in my profile over to the blog, and leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!

Good morning and happy Saturday! Yesterday was #n Good morning and happy Saturday!  Yesterday was #nationalcocktailday and I missed it. Sheesh. What I didn't miss is Weekly Meanderings, my Saturday morning roundup post with @pineconesandacorns and @northerncalstyle. The dogs are walked and its time to sit down with a glass of ice tea (@tejava is back on grocery  shelves!!!) and catch up with Elizabeth and Kim and respond to your kind comments. To read the posts, just click the link in our bios. We have so much fun with this and love and appreciate your support. 

When Jim gets back from the gym 😆 we're going on a little field trip. If you read Weekend Meanderings you can probably figure out where. 😉

Happy weekend, friends!

Holy moly … it’s 43 degrees this morning. Temp Holy moly … it’s 43 degrees this morning. Temps plummeted last night. I guess it’s a typical spring swing. I’m going to take advantage and have my  cocoa in the library. We rarely use this room which is a real shame. Our sweet pups are no longer allowed inside. Dark velvet sofas and white dogs don’t mix. Not true, they do mix … a little too well. 😒 Anyway, they whine outside the door if I go in there. Jim will distract them with toast in his office and I should be good for a short time.

Yesterday I put two open house tours on Reels. I’m still learning and forgot there’s a 60 second limit. The outdoor spaces of the cute 1929 cottage got cut off. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I used a heavier hand editing the second house so it fits … mostly. Anyway, I’m sure you appreciate a more edited version. 😆 I tend to talk, write and record more than is necessary. As Jim says, when you’ve made the sale stop talking. 🤷‍♀️ I visited a 3rd house as well and need to work on it. New open house rule … one per week! 😉

Good morning and Happy Monday! 💙

Today on the blog it's Weekend Meanderings with El Today on the blog it's Weekend Meanderings with Elizabeth and Kim ... every Saturday we post about our favorite things of the week. This week I'm sharing my current reading and viewing lists. And a pair of summer sandals ... that are not for everyone apparently. 😆 That said, they're comfortable, sustainably made and I love them. That's what matters, right?!

Kim and Elizabeth are bringing it with some really cool stuff. I learn so much from them on Saturday mornings and it's really a joy to be part our weekend trio. 

What you up to this Mother's Day weekend? I'm making a mad dash to the craft store to put the finishing touches on a gift for Jim's mom.  And I think I'll snip a few roses from Rosella to take to the cemetery when I visit my mom. It's really hard for me to clip flowers ... I don't know why. But I'm determined to do more and enjoy them in vases throughout Snowberry.

Happy weekend, friends! You can hop over to our blogs through the link in our profiles.
