ones, you don’t need to infuse more than a couple of days. If I were going to make something to serve everyone at a party, I would tend towards a wine-based tail such as kir or kir royale or a white wine flavored with a...

I really love kir tails – white vermouth or white wine with cassis. Kir royale for special occasions made with champagne in place of the vermouth/wine.

My favorites are Champagne and Chambord, Kir Royales and Bellinis. I have also heard of adding cranberry juice and a few cranberries to champagne. I have alwys wanted to have a brunch with a variety of juices and champagne i.e...

cattlemen and their cattle. We slotted in at the bar, asked for a table, and cooled our heels with the best kirs royals of the trip, made (I believe) with Pommery Brut Royal. After about forty minutes, we were seated. This place...

with papardelle and the beet/goat cheese/arugula salad were fantastic and the gazpacho was very good; the seafood/rice dish was good though didn’t quite wow me like the other dishes. They had kir royales on their specials...

interior and gilded brass, as a stop off after work, or a fun place to pop in, it was a place to add a touch of class to the port authority; not to mention it served up my favorite tail - kir royale. It will be missed. New York,...

was there, playing a mix of pop, contemporary and classical tunes. The couches and chairs were very comfy, with plenty of soft cushions to boot. The china are gold-rimmed and imported from England, a nice touch. All 3 of us...

. Buck’s Fizz (Mimosa) $8. Kir Royale $12. St. Germain $12. So ... ok ...technically sparkling wine.

I have SEVERAL bottles of poire william and creme de cassis on hand. Any suggestions on how I might use these ambrosial liquids? I’ve already made kir royale with the creme de cassis. In Amboise, I had a dish of ice cream...

but be romantic. They make very good kir royals to start as well. I’m not a huge fan of the savory souffles with garlic, it overpowers the dish. Broccoli and gruyere is really the only way to go. $150 before tip for 2...

Oh, I don’t know about that. I like an occasional Kir Royale made with at least a decent champagne (and a bonafide creme de cassis). It’s not about making the champagne “drinkable”, it’s about...

While the Food is good actually, the Mussels where fantastic. Service was horrible, examples putting the cork back in the bottle after it was open. 15 minutes to get a kir royale half an hour to get our first course, that was after...

With an aperitif (Kir Royale), and the wine selections, you are looking at over 200E. Still a great deal, relatively speaking. Same with Geo V, Guy Savoy etal. The only way to go, at least for those of us no longer on expense...

arrived early on a Saturday night with last-minute reservations. We were pleasantly greeted (service was very good throughout the evening) and started with two Kir Royales avec olives and crusty bread while we awaited our apps....

I agree. I like Pommery, and here it is cheaper than VC by about $20. On one occasion when I ordered Kir Royale in a restaurant it smelled like the waitress was bringing a bouquet of flowers to the table. They used Pommery and...
