Let Them Eat Candy: Part 3

I grew up thinking that the Kir Royale was the height of sophistication.  Crème de Cassis, a black currant liqueur, topped with champagne.  How very elegant!  My version is, I like to think, younger and edgier: small scoops of black currant sorbet dropped into a champagne flute, doused in black currant vodka, and crowned with pink champagne.  A little bit ironic, maybe, to toast the republic with a cocktail named for royalty, but when the sorbet starts to melt into that pink champagne (and when the vodka makes its way to your head) I doubt you’ll be waxing political.
