The Kir Royale is a festive French cocktail made with sparkling wine topped with blackberry liquor such as Chambord.

If you ask me, life is a celebration so I always have a bottle of bubbles chilling in my refrigerator for when the occasion arises. While there’s nothing wrong with a simple glass of sparkling wine, I love adding a little something special to turn it into a fun cocktail.

Where it’s adding juice to turn it into a mimosa, splashing it with gin to create a French 75 or simply topping it with a fun liqueur, nothing turns a boring moment into something magical quite like bubbles.

Speaking of bubbles, today I’m sharing a simple, two-ingredient recipe: the Kir Royale.

Chambord is my go-to for blackberry liqueur but any brand you can find works well. You can either splash it on top for your guests or set up a fun serve-yourself bubbles bar with a variety of liqueurs for your guests to help themselves.

Ideal for Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve or any special occasion, I love to top each glass with a few pomegranate seeds for a little festive touch. Raspberries, blackberries or strawberries would be a great garnish also.
