A Kir Royale is a variation on Kir, a traditional French cocktail made with crème de cassis (a blackcurrant liqueur) and white wine. “Kir is named after the French priest Felix Kir who lived from 1876 to 1968,” Bob Bron, director of Moët Hennessy Netherlands, tells Vogue. “Felix Kir later became mayor of Dijon, where he decided to give his name to this drink, which was drunk as an aperitif on official occasions. This was the beginning of the cocktail’s international fame.” In a Kir Royale, the white wine is replaced with champagne.
