 <\/p>\n

The classic kir<\/h2>\n

Traditionally, kir is a drink made with one-third cr\u00e8me de cassis (a light 20\u00b0 liqueur) and two-thirds Bourgogne aligot\u00e9. The recipe may vary, as may the dosage of cr\u00e8me de cassis and wine.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, the recipe has been diversified, and Bourgogne aligot\u00e9 can be replaced by other dry white wines. Indeed, cr\u00e8me de cassis is a sweet, syrupy spirit that needs to be nuanced in a cocktail. The acidity and liveliness of a dry white break up this sweetness. Muscadet or Savoy wines such as Apremont and Roussette come to mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The royal kir<\/h2>\n

A kir royal follows the same recipe as the classic kir, except that Bourgogne aligot\u00e9 is replaced by Cr\u00e9mant d’Alsace.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s even the kir imp\u00e9rial, made with cr\u00e8me de cassis and champagne. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Variations on kir<\/h2>\n

There are also a multitude of variations on the “classic” kir recipes. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ros\u00e9 can be used instead of a dry white to make a Medoc kir. On the other hand, vodka can be used to prepare a Gagarine Cocktail, the recipe being: cr\u00e8me de cassis, champagne, vodka, cherry brandy and lemon juice.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kir can even be made with bases other than cr\u00e8me de cassis, including grapefruit syrup, cr\u00e8me de m\u00fbre, cr\u00e8me de ch\u00e2taigne and cr\u00e8me de p\u00eache.<\/span><\/p>\n
