Kir Royale with Vanilla Cognac

5.0

(2)

Vanilla-accented Cognac adds a twist to the traditional Kir Royale (an aperitif made with Champagne and crème de cassis). Prepare the Cognac-vanilla mixture at least one day ahead so that the flavors can mingle. Have extra bottles of Champagne on hand for a second go-round.
