Kirs (per serving)
Batch (6 servings)
Method
Kirs (single serving)
Chill glass (optional)
If you prefer a very cold drink, fill a wine or old-fashioned glass with ice cubes and cold water. Let sit while you prepare the drink, then discard the ice and water just before assembling.
Measure liqueur
Pour 1/2 fl oz (about 15 ml) of crème de cassis into the bottom of a chilled wine glass.
Add wine
Slowly pour 5 fl oz (about 150 ml) of chilled dry white wine into the glass over the back of a spoon or down the side to help the liqueur and wine mix gently.
Batch preparation (6 servings)
Combine
In a pitcher, pour 3 fl oz (about 90 ml) crème de cassis, then add 30 fl oz (about 900 ml) chilled dry white wine. Stir gently to combine; avoid vigorous stirring to prevent flattening the wine.
