Kir Royal

Kir is a popular French cocktail made with a measure of crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) topped up with white wine.
In France it is usually drunk as an apéritif before a meal or snack. Originally the wine used was Bourgogne Aligoté, a lesser white wine of Burgundy. Nowadays, various white wines are used throughout France, according to the region and the whim of the barkeeper. Many prefer a white Chardonnay-based Burgundy, such as Chablis.
Originally called blanc-cassis, the drink is now named after Félix Kir (1876 - 1968), mayor of Dijon in Burgundy, who as a pioneer of the twinning movement in the aftermath of the Second World War popularized the drink by offering it at receptions to visiting delegations. Besides treating his international guests well, he was also promoting two vital economic products of the region. Kir initially allowed one of Dijon's producers of crème de cassis to use his name, but subsequently extended the right to their competitors as well. According to Rolland (2004), [1] the reinvention of blanc-cassis (post 1945) was necessitated by the German Army's confiscation of all the local red Burgundy during the war. Faced with an excess of white wine, Kir renovated a drink that previously was made primarily with the red.
Following the commercial development of crème de cassis in 1841 the cocktail became a popular regional café drink, but has since become inextricably linked internationally with the name of Mayor Kir. When ordering a kir, waiters in France sometimes ask whether you want it made with crème de cassis (black currant), de mûre (blackberry) or de pèche (peach).
The International Bartenders Association gives a recipe using 1/10 crème de cassis, but French sources typically specify more; 19th century recipes for blanc-cassis recommended 1/3 crème de cassis, and modern sources typically about 1/5. Replacing the crème de cassis with blackcurrant syrup is deprecated[2].

ilike this... Makes my throat quench... cheers for kir royal...

I'm definitely LOVING my BLOG...

3 posts in one day... Addiction, this is...

...and ACTUALLy, THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE TITLE UP THERE...

This is about the what-so-called "ANGELIC LOVE..."

For some reason, people deal with something with an unknown result. But later in the end, they just find theirselves crying. Hanging. Waiting for that someone to come back.

Of course, we can't preclude our tears when they feel to roll down. Worse, we can't veil the pain especially when it's about the heart- the heart that tears apart, the heart that shouts, the heart that reminds us that once, we've been enamored with someone. In times like these, people tend to be depressed, gloomy or even empty. But just like other mouth speaks, feeling bare is better than being too much hurt.

Life isn't always about the solitary side. Sometimes, this loneliness is just a way to have a happier one. Open a better-off door.Enjoy life. And please, don't trap your shadows in a nightmare. Letting go is just a part of our existence. Learn to unleash. Accept the reality- the reality that even you win that person back, you couldn't have him whole. Don't waste your chance to delve into other scraps of life. Remember, you're young and smart.
You are special. If not for him, atleast for us.

Better think about this my dear... *_*
