At a glance

This simple French aperitif comes together in just 2 minutes with a basic stir of sweet white wine and crème de cassis liqueur. The beauty of a Kir is in its simplicity—you're just mixing two ingredients in your preferred ratio and enjoying a refreshing, fruity drink that captures the taste of summer.

About this recipe

In France, this beloved cocktail is usually enjoyed as an aperitif. I like to mix one up whenever I want a taste and scent of summer. You can also turn it into a Kir Royale by swapping the wine for sparkling wine, or real champagne if you're feeling fancy.
