Kir Martini Instructions

Kir Martini is a classic cocktail that combines the flavors of white wine and blackcurrant liqueur. It is a refreshing and fruity drink that is perfect for a summer evening or a special occasion. The cocktail is named after Félix Kir, a French priest and politician who popularized the drink in the Burgundy region of France.

To make a Kir Martini, start by chilling a martini glass in the refrigerator. Once the glass is chilled, pour 2 ounces of dry white wine into the glass. Next, add 1/2 ounce of blackcurrant liqueur to the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients. Finally, garnish with a lemon twist or a fresh blackcurrant if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!


Best served in a Cocktail Glass.

The Kir Martini cocktail is a delicious and sophisticated drink that has been enjoyed by many for decades. This classic cocktail originated in France and is named after Félix Kir, a former mayor of Dijon who was known for serving this refreshing beverage to his guests.

To make a Kir Martini, you will need just two simple ingredients: dry white wine and crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur). The proportions can vary depending on your personal taste, but the traditional recipe calls for about 1 part crème de cassis to 5 parts white wine. Simply pour the crème de cassis into a chilled martini glass and top it off with the white wine. Give it a gentle stir to mix the flavors together, and garnish with a lemon twist or fresh berries if desired.

The result is a beautiful deep purple-hued cocktail that is both sweet and tart, with just the right amount of acidity from the wine. The blackcurrant flavor of the crème de cassis adds depth and complexity to this simple yet elegant drink.

The Kir Martini cocktail is perfect for sipping on warm summer evenings or as an apéritif before dinner. Its light and fruity profile makes it an excellent choice for those who prefer lighter cocktails that are not overly sweet or strong.

Next time you're looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy with friends or family, consider making a batch of Kir Martinis. With its rich history and delightful flavor profile, this classic French cocktail is sure to impress even the most discerning palates. Cheers!
