How To Make A Cranberry Kir Royale
The secret to this cocktail is our homemade spiced cranberry cordial. It’s packed with cranberry flavour and warming spices. And best of all, you can make it up to three weeks ahead and store it in the fridge ready for your Christmas entertaining.
Simply combine the cordial with a dash of Angostura bitters, top up with chilled Champagne or your favourite sparkling wine, and finish with a twist of lemon peel.
Yum!
Cheers to Christmas with a Kir-istmas Royale!
