Kir Pétillant

KIR PÉTILLANT

Before the official Midsummer celebration we shall celebrate it with a cocktail! A famous variation of the Kir, the Kir Pétillant is an exciting way to start say, a party!

• 1.5 cl cremé de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur)
• sparkling wine

Pour the cremé de cassis in the champagne flute (or wine glass) and afterwards pour in the sparkling wine. Enjoy well chilled.

As mentioned earlier, here are the three most used versions of the Kir (in my opinion)

1. Kir (cassis + white wine)
2. Kir Royal (cassis + champagne)
3. Kir Pétillant (cassis + sparkling wine)

A warm and beautiful color, taste-wise plenty of currant but not overwhelmingly. I can still taste the wine. A bit to the sweeter side but nonetheless well balanced. A good combination.

These are easily done at parties in larger amounts so if you ever want to have sparkling wine with a twist but without the hassle, this is your cocktail!
