Something for the weekend: Kir Royale
The Germans who ransacked a French village's wine supply during the Second World War weren't expecting resistance. But a rescue party led by local priest Canon Felix Kir, saw the villagers taking back their favourite tipple. For his heroism, the villagers named the Kir in the priest's honour.
1 part crme de cassis
4 parts champagne
Pour the iced champagne into a chilled flute glass. Add the crme de cassis so it mingles with the champagne, resulting in a pale pink blush. Serve with a lemon twist.
For Kir, use white wine for the champagne and for Kir Imperiale, only the best Dom Perignon. ww.greatcocktails.co.uk
