History

The Kir is probably one of the most consumed aperitifs. The original kir recipe was made with 1/3 crème de cassis and 2/3 Bourgogne aligoté. The presence of so much crème was meant to mask the then-acidic taste of the Bourgogne aligoté.

Variation

The Kir Royal is a very famous variant of this cocktail: the white wine is replaced with champagne.
