K is for Kir



Kir is a popular French cocktail made with a measure of crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) topped up with white wine.  It is a Kir Royal if made with champagne. Cheers!

    Great idea for the letter K Mar and that makes such a refreshing photograph as well as drink.

    Hmmmm tasty. Reminds me of kira, which in engrish means killer. Engrish is a sort of Japanesed English. Ls are replaced with rs, for an example.

    I used to have to serve them at weddings (the Royal one), but never really liked the taste of them myself. Probably a good thing, nobody wants a drunk waitress serving hot food...
