Need help identifing a french drink??? champagne and liquor???

[mcveigh]

Got the big 1 year anniversary coming up when I propsed to the wife at Epcot (Frech section) we had dinner there and a cocktail that was champagne and some kind of liquor in it. I think they called it KIR and we had some raspberry liquor in ours.

What kind of liquor do I need to make this again?

Kir Royale. Champagne and creme de cassise.

Kir royale -- listed above (cassis actually, no "e")

Kir -- white Burgundy (chardonnay) with cassis

Don't use too much cassis as it can be overpowering. The mix is difficult to achieve sometimes so practice, practice, practice. It's from the Bourgogne (Burgundy) region of France, centered around the town of Beaune.

List the recipes and ingredients by name or type. Makes it easy to find the drink recipes you are looking for.


possible
Kir Royale
1 part Creme de cassis
5 parts Champagne
Crème de cassis is a blood-red, sweet, black currant-flavored liqueur. It dates back to the 16th century, first produced by monks in France as a cure for snakebites, jaundice, and wretchedness. This cordial works well in pousse-cafés and some cocktails, but is most commonly mixed with just vermouth, white wine, or soda water.

A little expensive but honestly some of the best food I've had anywhere, and I have eaten some of the best.

I remember they offered several different flavors with the champagne including peach.
