The Classic Kir Royale

We hope you’re having a great start to your week loves!

Around this time of year, nothing makes us happier than a festive, seasonal, champagne cocktail, and this Autumn Kir Royale fits the bill perfectly. It is perfect for any party or get-together you’re hosting, and by changing out the color of the rimming sugar, you can adapt it for Thanksgiving, Christmas or even New Years. We like using an orange rimming sugar this time of year, and as we move into the winter months, we transition into red and whites.

We used the Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco – here, and it was absolutely perfect. We hope you enjoy this cocktail as much as we do – be sure to send us any photos if you decide to make your own!
