Kirren Royal is a variation of the classic Kir Royal cocktail, which is made with champagne. Kirren Royal, on the other hand, is made with Cremant sparkling wine while otherwise following the classic recipe. Kirren Royal is crowned with frozen cranberries. You can arrange them as a garnish in the glass or on its rim.
Both Wolfberger Cremants work well for Kirren Royal - the classic Wolfberger Cremant d'Alsace Brut and the modern organic Wolfberger W Cremant d'Alsace Organic. The classic cremant charms with the fullness of sparkling wine, which is darker and fuller than the organic cremant, without being too heavy. The organic, in turn, is crisp and fruity, which highlights the cranberry's distinctive flavor in a fun way.
This drink works beautifully as an aperitif as well as a toast. Remember to serve it cold.
