The 2024 Summer Olympics will begin on July 26. Even non-sports fans will be excited to see the City of Lights when the events begin.
Like us, you may be wondering what the best way to celebrate the start of a new year is. Paris French Olympics. We’ve chosen one of our favorite French cocktails to toast the athletes and wish them a happy holiday. Kir Royale.
Even if you’re not interested in the Olympics, don’t worry. This cocktail is the perfect aperitif any day of the week.
Although there are many types of Kir Royales, we are sharing our favorite recipes.
It’s the perfect way to celebrate any special occasion.
- 1 ounce Blackcurrant liqueur
- 5 ounce Champagne or sparkling wine
The cocktail should be a nice red color. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, add more liquor.
Garnish with raspberries or any other berries you like.
We tried many different versions of the French cocktail, some with a hint of Italy when limoncello was added, some with a hint of Portugal when cherry liqueur was added.
No matter how you pair it, it’s sure to be a delicious way to celebrate the Olympics, cheer on your favorite athletes, and dream about Paris at the same time. Let the games begin!
Pin it for later!
