Frequently Asked Questions About Kir cocktail
What is a Kir cocktail?
A Kir cocktail is a French aperitif made by combining dry white wine with crème de cassis, a blackcurrant liqueur. It is usually served chilled in a small wine glass before a meal.
How do you make a Kir cocktail?
Pour crème de cassis into a glass, then top it with chilled dry white wine and stir gently. The classic drink uses much more wine than liqueur; add the wine slowly to preserve its fresh aroma.
What wine should you use in a Kir cocktail?
Use a chilled, dry white wine with a light body and little oak flavour for a Kir cocktail. Bourgogne Aligoté is traditional, but another crisp, unoaked dry white wine works well too.
What is the difference between a Kir cocktail and a Kir Royale?
A Kir cocktail is made with still white wine, while a Kir Royale uses sparkling wine. Both contain crème de cassis, but the Royale has bubbles and is often served for celebrations.
Can you make a Kir cocktail without crème de cassis?
Yes, you can replace crème de cassis in a Kir cocktail with another blackcurrant liqueur, though the flavour may differ. Raspberry liqueur gives a similarly fruity drink, but the result is no longer a classic Kir.
Is a Kir cocktail sweet?
A Kir cocktail is fruity and mildly sweet because crème de cassis adds blackcurrant sweetness to the dry wine. For a less sweet balance, use a crisp dry white wine and add the liqueur sparingly.
How strong is a Kir cocktail?
A Kir cocktail contains alcohol from both the wine and crème de cassis. Its final strength is not fixed: it changes with the alcohol content of the ingredients and how much liqueur is added.
When do people serve a Kir cocktail?
A Kir cocktail is traditionally served as an aperitif before a meal, rather than as a dessert drink. Its tart blackcurrant flavour pairs well with small savoury bites at a drinks gathering.
Where did the Kir cocktail originate?
The Kir cocktail is associated with Burgundy, France, and is named after Félix Kir, the former mayor of Dijon who helped popularize it. The regional version traditionally combines local dry white wine with blackcurrant liqueur.
Can you prepare Kir cocktails ahead of time?
It is best to assemble Kir cocktails shortly before serving. You can chill the wine and crème de cassis in advance, but mixing early can dull the fresh wine aromas and makes it harder to adjust each glass.

What is Kir cocktail?
Kir cocktail is a French aperitif associated with Burgundy, made by combining dry white wine with crème de cassis, a blackcurrant liqueur. It is usually served chilled in a small glass before a meal. The liqueur gives the wine a dark berry note and some sweetness, while the dry wine keeps the drink from tasting like a dessert cocktail.
It works well as a pre-dinner drink with savoury nibbles, such as cheese, olives or canapés, whether you encounter it on a restaurant menu or serve it at home. Its nutritional character comes mainly from the wine and liqueur: it provides very little protein or fat, while the liqueur contributes carbohydrates. For a less sweet glass, use the cassis sparingly and keep the wine well chilled.
