Name: Kir Royale
Ingredients: ½ oz crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur); 4 oz chilled Champagne or dry sparkling wine; Lemon twist, to garnish (optional)

Pairing

Serve when

Pour as Colette takes Linguini under her wing — Paris in a glass.

What to drink

Ratatouille lives in a grand Paris kitchen, and the Kir Royale — blackcurrant liqueur lifted by Champagne — is the elegant French apéritif to open Remy's meal. A suggested pairing to set the table, not a scene from the film.

Ingredients

½ oz crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur)
4 oz chilled Champagne or dry sparkling wine
Lemon twist, to garnish (optional)

Steps

Pour the crème de cassis into a chilled Champagne flute.
Top slowly with the Champagne so it doesn't foam over.
Garnish with a lemon twist if you like, and serve at once.
