Creme de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) topped with white wine. 4β¬
L’Arganier, Paris FR
We stopped by this place to grab some quick drinks before dinner. We sat outside at a table on the narrow sidewalk, awkwardly positioned to avoid passersby. Our waitress was hoot! Her English wasn’t the best, but she was SO friendly and accommodating with our lack of French. That’s one thing I appreciated about our Paris trip – everyone was SO nice and we didn’t get any flack for not knowing the language. But then again, we’re fairly well-traveled and try not to be the quintessential loud, annoying Americans everyone. Lol! π

Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis church, rue Saint Antoine, Marais. This beautiful Roman Catholic church was around the corner from our hotel and near the Saint Paul Metro station.
Love a good kir. I was first introduced to the drink in Paris in 1983 while traveling there as a college student. They served it to us at a ‘baby bottle dinner’ where we had to drink them from baby bottles. What a blast!
That sound amazing and super fun! π
A still kir royale? π Nice photo of the church!
Well, a kir is topped with white wine (the original kir cocktail), but a kir royale substitutes the white wine with champagne. There are many variations of the kir cocktail, all with great names. π
Ahaha. I have only had a Kir Royal with champagne, which is why I (ignorantly) called it a Still Kir Royale. I love learning about new cocktails! Thank you!
