- On this episode of Master Your Glass, we cover the Kir and the Kir Royale
The Kir originated in Burgundy, France. It is named after the priest Canon Félix Kir, who was a French hero during World War 2, and the Mayor of the Burgundian town Dijon from 1945 to 1968.
History tells us that he created the drink by mixing the local white wine made from the Aligoté grape a neutral, bone dry, acidic, wine with the local blackcurrant liqueur Crème de Cassis.
Crème de Cassis is a deeply colored, viscous, sweet liqueur, which is made by macerating crushed blackcurrants in eau-de-vie.
Kir Royale, differs from Kir in that it is made using Champagne, rather than the Aligoté white wine. Hence it is more expensive to make and typically reserved for celebrations and special occasions.

Kir
:
• Chill a white wine glass
• ¾ oz (45ml) of Lejay Crème de Cassis
• 4 oz (120ml) of very gold Aligote white wine (or other dry white wine)
• Stir and enjoy!
• No garnish - Optional Raspberry
Kir Royal:
• Chill a champagne flute
• ¾ oz (45ml) of Lejay Crème de Cassis
• 4 oz (120ml) of very cold Champagne
• No garnish - Optional Blackberry
Throughout the years, the Kir has turned into a family of cocktails the several variations. Most notably is the Kir Cardinal made with red wine instead of white or the Kir imperial which is made with Raspberry Liqueur and Champagne.

@@juanpablovega7919 GRAMDE MAQUINA!
They make a bottle of de-alcoolized Kir Royal and it’s amazing !! Enjoying this on my 1 year sober anniversary ✨✨
Oh wow! That sounds like a great option for someone looking for a great non alcoholic option. Congratulations on your anniversary!
I have told my mother that I really wanna have a shot of all the wine an beers without alcohol they always sound so fun but I like to keep sane
Good!
oooo I've been making a Kir Imperial all this time!!! Thanks for distinguishing the two: Kir Royale vs Kir Imperial!
You’re very welcome! Happy you enjoyed the video!
3/4oz = 22.5ml not 45ml.
45ml = 1 ½oz
Other than that good video.
Good catch! Thank you!
That's beautiful ice!! I am surprised though at the 3/4 oz of Cassis since I've only ever seen it call for 1/4 oz or a 1/2 max. Perhaps those measurements are only when using Chambord? Hmmmmm
I recommend taste-testing based off your ingredients. The amount of Cassis can vary based off the wine (high - medium. - or low acid) and on the quality of the Cassis. Some Cassis liqueurs are very cloying while most of the French ones have a tart tangy flavor and don’t bully the wine. If your wine is a dry Aligote and your Cassis is from France 3/4 will do the job. If not, taste and work accordingly. Thanks for following my show!
@@MasterYourGlass Thank you so much!!
Would like you to describe what each "tastes" like as you go.For example Iv never had creme de casis?Got an idea when you said thick & sweet.Iv had dry wine and champagne.Your audience loves to hear all your knowledge.Id like more discrptive narrative so my mouth can water and I'm in a hurry to try.I did do some study after seeing this to find out what creme de cassis was...
Thanks for the feedback! I like where you are going with that!
When you have to consume a horrible white wine, this is what you should do. It will compensate.
I like what you are doing just want a tiny bit more...
Thanks again for the feedback! Cheers!
@@MasterYourGlass I'll be watching thank you😘
Style note: you need to lose the jacket, roll your sleeves up and get yourself some suspenders...
SoL Licker Funny you mention that. If you see the newer videos all that minus the suspenders happen. I now film in my living room so I changed what I wear too. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Waste of ice & a waste of time.
Thank you for your insight :)
