'POSH IT UP'  - KIR

Pour a measure of Marie Brizzard Creme de Cassis or Chambord into the wine glass
Add the Charmaine
Serve
 

If the Cassis is added first, it is evenly mixed with the champagne and gives a more even taste.  If the champagne is added first, the Cassis is not evenly mixed (due to the smaller volume of Cassis relative to the Champagne) and gives a more pleasing appearance with the uneven mixing of the Cassis resulting in a fine pink at the bottom of the glass shading up to a bright red at the top.

 

The ratio of Cassis to Champagne depends on personal preference. 

 

There are two types of Kir. One is made with wine (and is simply known as "Kir") while the other is made with Champagne (and is known as "Kir Royal"). In France, a standard wine glass is always used for Kir, with the flute being reserved for Kir Royal.
