Faux Kir
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.7 / 5
The Faux Kir is a non-alcoholic beverage that mimics the flavors of the classic Kir cocktail, traditionally made with crème de cassis and white wine. In this mocktail version, the rich sweetness of raspberry syrup pairs with the subtle tartness of grape juice, creating a refreshingly fruity drink served in a wine glass. Its profile offers a sophisticated blend that elegantly combines the lush berry notes of raspberries with the crispness of grapes, catering to those who prefer a sweet yet balanced beverage without the effects of alcohol. The Faux Kir stands as a delightful option for a variety of social occasions, from brunches to evening soirees, where a non-intoxicating yet chic drink option is desired.

FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I use a different syrup if I don't have raspberry syrup for the Faux Kir?
