Kir Royal

Kir Royal is a French cocktail, a variation on Kir. It consists of crème de cassis topped with champagne, rather than the white wine used in traditional Kir.[1][2][3] This apéritif is typically served in a flute glass.[1]

For the German television series, see Kir Royal – Aus dem Leben eines Klatschreporters.
