Kir Impérial Cocktail Bundle

In the world of timeless cocktails, the Kir Impérial emerges as a sparkling ode to elegance, blending the luscious essence of black raspberries with the celebratory effervescence of fine sparkling wine. Our recipe combines the velvety smoothness of Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur with the crisp sophistication of Gruet Blanc de Noirs, creating a cocktail that feels equally at home in grand celebrations and intimate moments.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur (adjust to taste for desired sweetness)
• 4 oz Gruet Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine

Recipe:

1. Begin by pouring Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur into a chilled Champagne flute.
2. Gently top with Gruet Blanc de Noirs, allowing the mousse to rise gracefully.
3. Optional: Garnish with a fresh raspberry or a twist of lemon peel for a touch of visual allure.

The journey starts with Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur, a luxurious blend of black raspberries, XO Cognac, Madagascan vanilla, and Moroccan citrus peel, offering rich and layered notes that set the stage for this refined cocktail. Each sip unveils a velvety texture and a touch of sweetness that harmonizes effortlessly with the crisp sparkle of Gruet Blanc de Noirs.

Crafted with 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, Gruet Blanc de Noirs adds complexity with its pale salmon hue, creamy mouthfeel, and a vibrant medley of raspberry, baked pear, and toasted vanilla. This sparkling wine’s roots in the champagne traditions of Bethon, France, and its adaptation to New Mexico’s terroir lend the cocktail a sense of history and innovation.

The Kir Impérial is more than a drink—it’s a toast to craftsmanship, a celebration of flavor, and an invitation to savor life's finest moments. Perfect for brunches, evening soirées, or as an elegant companion to light desserts, this cocktail elevates any occasion with its balance of sweetness and sparkle.
