    Blackberry Royal

    Blackberry Royal

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    The Blackberry Royal is a fresh take on the classic Kir Royale, a French cocktail made of Crème de Cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) and Champagne.  The Kir Royale dates back to the post Second World War era, where Félix Kir, the mayor of Dijon, served the Kir cocktail to visiting representatives.  Kir started as a mix of Crème de Cassis and white wine.  As the drink grew in popularity, variations spread throughout France including the Kir Royale, Kir Pêche (peach) and Kir Impérial (raspberry).   This Blackberry Royal is flavored with a Blackberry Shrub, a mixture of blackberry juice, balsamic vinegar, sugar and rosemary.  The shrub provides a complex sweet-tart flavor with a woodsy note from the rosemary.  The finished cocktail is well balanced, light and oh so refreshing.  Continue reading for the recipe.

        These are actually from west elm!  It is a little difficult to see some of the details, but the top part looks like a plastic cup 🙂  Thanks Krystal!

      I just followed your link to blackberry shrub and picked up a good tip. I’ve never heard of drinking vinegars and I haven’t thought of adding vinegar to a beverage before. Thanks! You take great photos.
