This classic kir royale recipe is easy to make with sparkling wine, crème de cassis and your choice of berries for garnish.

Yes, I admit that Netflix’s favorite influencer recently influenced me to make a round of these bubbly cocktails for a recent gathering with girlfriends. But a classic kir royale genuinely is just so lovely and refreshing to sip on a warm day. And with just two main ingredients, it couldn’t be easier to make.

If you happen to be new to the kir royale, this classic French cocktail is traditionally made by topping crème de cassis (a sweet blackcurrant liqueur) with sparkling white wine (such as Champagne). It is a sophisticated, bubbly, vibrant red cocktail that takes literally less than a minute to prepare, making this a great option for easy entertaining. And if you feel like adding a garnish, fresh berries or a lemon twist are always beautiful additions.

Cheers and sauté!
