Apologies to the has Aperol flying off the shelves for fans’ homemade spritzes (at least, we would think so; I grabbed a bottle immediately after Season 2 aired), and we predict crème de cassis will be the next hot liquor. Making the Kir Royale cocktail is super simple: pour a couple teaspoons of crème de cassis in a flute and top with champagne. Add frozen raspberries if you’re feeling like a French noble. It’s a wonderful berry-centric holiday refreshment, but also fruity enough for summer.
Emily in Paris fans have already flocked to the Kir Royale, with plenty of memes harkening back to the Negroni Sbagliato trend and photos of them trying the drink.
The Kir Royale, Luc touts on the show, is “the perfect drink to sip and do nothing while the Ferris Wheel turns.” What a great New Year’s resolution: Sip wine and do nothing! We’ll be sipping Kir Royales into 2023, thanks to our girl Emily.
