Black And Red Kir Royale Fruit Salad Recipes

CRANBERRY KIR ROYALE

Steps:

• Add cranberries, orange juice, zest and sugar to a large pan and set over medium heat until berries break-down slightly and liquid is syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes. *Pour into a blender and process, be careful of the hot liquid expanding when you blend - use a towel over the top of the blender.
• Strain and discard any solids then set aside and cool.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of cranberry-orange syrup into the bottoms of 4 chilled champagne glasses. Add a few cranberries to each glass and gently top off each glass with Champagne.
• *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

KIR

Steps:

• Pour Cassis into a chilled wine glass and top with wine. Garnish with a lemon twist, if desired.

RUBY ROYALE

Steps:

• Place the currants in the freezer for about 30 minutes prior to making the cocktail. (They will act as mini ice cubes and will keep the cocktail colder longer!)
• Add the black currant syrup to the bottom of a champagne flute. Top with sparkling apple cider, or Champagne, if using. Drop a couple of currants into the glass and garnish with a small frozen bunch, if desired.
• Cook's Note: For the ultimate in crowd control, prepare a pitcher of Ruby Royales; just make sure to add the chilled sparkling cider just before serving so everyone will enjoy the bubbly. A pitcher will allow you to mingle with your guests without playing mixologist.
