Kir Impérial | Local Wine Cocktail From France, Western Europe | TasteAtlas

Kir Impérial

Kir Impérial is a modern version of Kir Royale. The cocktail is made with Champagne and black raspberry liqueur instead of crème de cassis. This elegant sparkling apéritif should not be overly sweet, so it needs a small amount of liqueur - typically Chambord - to add a subtle flavor of raspberries.


It is typically served chilled in a flute glass during holidays and celebrations, and it is often garnished with various fruits, depending on personal preferences.
