Maybe you're in need of a mid-week cocktail hour, maybe it's grocery shopping hour, I want to make sure you're prepared with the weekly Tuesday Toast. This week's recipe will transport you from smoldering Texas
summers to breezy French cafes. The first time I sipped on a Blackberry
Kir was in Paris, France on my post college graduation backpacking trip through
Europe. I had the waitress to detail every ingredient in it so I would be able to recreate it
in the states.
Right from the French waitress's mouth:
a Blackberry Kir is a combination of sweet-tart blackberry liqueur and the
elegant flavor of sparkling rose wine (I've also had it with some plain ol' white wine - still amazing).
- Pour 2 tsp. black currant liqueur (recommended: Creme de Cassis) into each champagne flute.
- Muddle blackberries or blend blackberries with the black current liqueur. Add to champagne flute.
- Top with sparkling rose.
- Voilà! One bottle of sparkling rose wine serves six people.
Cheers.
