Steps

  1. 1
    Chill the wine well: a Kir should be served cold.
  2. 2
    Pour the crème de cassis into a wine glass.
  3. 3
    Top up with the white wine; it mixes as it is poured and needs no stirring.
  4. 4
    Serve at once, without garnish. Keep the cassis to about one part in ten — more turns an aperitif into a syrup.
