How to Store

Kir Royale is best served fresh immediately after making it. However, if you want to make it beforehand, you can prepare the ingredients separately and combine them before serving.

Make-Ahead

To prepare beforehand, chill the Champagne or sparkling wine and the crème de cassis separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, pour 1 tablespoon of crème de cassis into each Champagne flute glass, then add the chilled Champagne or sparkling wine and top off with fresh raspberries. This will ensure that the bubbles are still effervescent and the flavors are fresh.

Notes:

For a variation: replace the crème de cassis with raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord to make a Kir Imperial.
