Kir Pétillant
Kir Pétillant is a classic French aperitif cocktail, not a food dish, made by adding a measure of blackcurrant liqueur (crème de cassis) to a glass of chilled sparkling wine, typically Crémant de Bourgogne or Champagne. It originates from the Burgundy region of France and is a lighter, fizzier variation of the traditional Kir, which uses still white wine.
