You've omitted the champagne from the Preparation. I presume you combine with the liqueur and tea.
And then admire it all while you sip the glass of Champagne?
Best to pour chilled champagne directly into the coupe glass after adding the stirred mixture of creme de cassis and tea. Stirring the champagne with the other ingredients would flatten it -- you want to keep the bubbles.
The one star is an accidental rating, and I can’t figure out how to undo it. Haven’t made it yet, and am curious about the point of champagne.
Where and/or how does the Champagne enter the picture?
And then admire it all while you sip the glass of Champagne?
You started my morning with a smile and a giggle. Thanks.
Or admire the bubbles of Champagne while you sip the concoction?
Sorry, folks! We've updated the recipe. Chantal says this is a riff on a Kir Royale so the Champagne is poured in with the other ingredients. Thanks!
