DRINK: Kir Royale at Bar Nineteen 12


The name says it all, no? Champagne is my favourite beverage. Wonderful on its own, but is equally divine mixed with various juices and liqueurs. The Kir Royale is a champagne cocktail consisting of a glass of champagne with a dash of Creme de Cassis - a liqueur made of blackcurrant. Its a very popular drink in France, and is typically served before lunch or dinner. I, however, will drink it at any time of day, or night. This cocktail is particularly delicious at Bar Nineteen 12 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Besides having a delightful outdoor patio and a killer Kir Royale, the bar serves two excellent "desserts" that will knock your socks off: chocolate flavoured jelly shots that are so darn strong you'll forget your name and "martini popsicles" that are self-explanatory and absolutely delicious.

  1. I love that you spell "Favourite" with a "u". It seems appropriate somehow with your post b/c it makes it fancier :)

    And I agree that their jelly shots were delicious!
