This Easy Kir Royale Recipe Is The Perfect End-Of-Summer Cocktail
If you ask me, the best cocktails are the ones that mix fruity flavor with the effervescence of champagne. There's just something so romantic and chic about sipping on a bubbly drink, which is exactly the way that Emily in Paris makes me feel! Emily, Camille, and Mindy are always at one restaurant or another, drink in hand, and I've decided that not only is it 5 o'clock somewhere, it's Friday somewhere too ;).
Ahead of your Emily In Paris season 4 watch party on August 15, add this Kir Royale recipe to the menu. It's bubbly, it's colorful, and it's delicious. And the best part is that you only need three ingredients!
What is a Kir Royale?
Haley Sprankle/Brit + Co
A Kir Royale is a raspberry-flavored cocktail that will make you feel more sophisticated the second you grab a glass. It's traditionally served in a champagne flute, with raspberries as a garnish. And since raspberries are in season at the end of the summer, this is the perfect time to make one for yourself!

This recipe encourages you to use a lemon peel or sprig of mint if a single raspberry feels too minimalist. After all, Emily is definitely not a minimalist.

Swap your liqueur for a slightly different flavor while maintaining the fruitiness. Creme de cassis will offer more of a blackcurrant flavor, but you can also choose a blackberry liqueur or even peach!
