Ep. 125: The Mayor’s Toast – Kir Royal
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
Raise your flute for France's most elegant aperitif! Uncle Brad and Jules explore the Kir Royal, a sparkling symphony of crème de cassis and champagne that transforms any moment into a celebration. Brad walks listeners through the classic recipe and its surprisingly political origins - from a pragmatic Burgundian mayor's clever marketing to Parisian cafe culture. Jules shakes things up with Tia Barrett's inventive riff, marrying blueberry pomegranate juice, vodka, vanilla, and St.-Germain for a modern twist on the blackcurrant classic. Whether you're toasting with vintage Bollinger or smart-shopping at your local wine shop, Jules wraps the episode with essential champagne-buying tips that'll help you navigate labels, prices, and styles with confidence. Pop the cork and discover why this French favorite has enchanted drinkers for generations. Thinking about purchasing a Klaris ice machine?
