This is a raspberry-flavored sibling of the Kir Royale. The color’s wonderful, and the taste is crisp and definite.

1 teaspoon Chambord

5 or 6 ounces dry sparkling wine

lemon twist, if desired

Pour the Chambord into a champagne flute, and gently top with sparkling wine. (If using a twist, rim the flute beforehand and drop the twist into it before adding the Chambord.)
