Kir Royal cocktail

Where: Season 5, Episode 10

We continue with Blair’s perfect bachelorette party! Here is the plan:

First, dinner at Le Charlot, and then off to the Tiffany suite at St. Regis for Kir Royales and Kiki de Montparnasse.

We now know that Blair enjoys Kir Royales and sees them as worthy cocktails for this very important occasion. Kir Royal is a delicate, elegant combination of a sweet fruit flavor (berry fruits) and quality frizzy wine (preferably  champagne, but other kinds, like prosecco, are also good enough) and the combo suits Blair very well! Here is a recipe for a Kir Royal, taken from the wonderful Inspired taste web site.

• PREP 5mins
• TOTAL 5mins

To make these best, chill the sparkling wine until very cold. Placing the flute glasses into the freezer a few minutes before making them isn’t a bad idea either.

Makes 4 drinks

YOU WILL NEED

3 to 4 tablespoons Crème de Cassis, Crème de Framboise or Chambord

1 (750 ml) bottle dry sparkling wine or Champagne, chilled

1/4 cup fresh raspberries, optional

DIRECTIONS
