The Sassy Guide to the City of Light
As an American living in Paris for nearly 9 years, I have plenty of words of wisdom to share about this glorious, yet sometimes frustrating, city. Each weekday this month I will share my thoughts on some of the best stuff to do in Paris. Today's letter, K, is for Kir Royale.
How do you make champagne better? That's a trick question - champagne is already the best substance on the planet. But sometimes you want a change (first world problem: drinking so much champagne you're starting to get bored) and that's where the Kir Royale comes in. It's a glass of champagne with a dash of syrup liqueur, usually cassis, but can be with any liqueur you choose - peach, wildberry, raspberry, you name it. You can also flavor a glass of white wine with syrup liqueur and it's called simply "kir".
Pretty much any combination will work but one thing is guaranteed - it's going to taste awesome. And as someone who loves drinks, I should know.
