Kir Provençal (with Crème de Cassis Monna & Filles)
COCKTAILS & COFFEES
This is one of those recipes that barely feels like a recipe—but it’s a classic for a reason. A Kir is simple, timeless, and deeply French. When made with a high-quality crème de cassis like Monna & Filles, it becomes less of a cocktail and more of a quiet ritual.
This is how the locals enjoy it. No fuss. No shortcuts.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Crème de Cassis Monna & Filles
Chilled dry white wine (traditionally Aligoté, but Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Blanc work beautifully)
Instructions
Chill your wine glasses well—this matters more than you think.
Pour 1 tablespoon of crème de cassis into the bottom of each glass.
Slowly top with chilled white wine.
Give it the gentlest stir—just enough to marry the flavours.
Serve immediately.
How to Enjoy It
Sip this slowly, preferably before dinner, as the French do. It’s perfect for golden hour, a casual aperitif with friends, or those moments when you want something special without making a big deal out of it.
Optional Variations
Kir Royal: Replace white wine with chilled champagne or sparkling wine.
Dessert Kir: Add a splash of cassis to sparkling water and serve alongside fresh berries.
Summer Twist: Garnish with a lemon peel or a single fresh blackberry.
