Description:
Kir is a French aperitif from Burgundy, named after Félix Kir, the mayor of Dijon. The classic version uses crème de cassis and dry white wine. The drink is light, berry-led, and wine-driven. The point of Kir is not strength, but the balance between the wines acidity and the blackcurrant sweetness of the liqueur.
