Review:
Canon Félix Kir's traditional white wine and cassis apéritif with added vodka 'oomph'. A barspoon of pisco adds complexity to this cocktail but if available instead use Marc de Bourgogne, the eau-de-vie Canon Kir would have chosen.

History:
Created in 2004 by yours truly in London, England. This cocktail was inspired by the classic Kir Apéritif, popularised by Canon Kir, Mayor of Dijon, France (1946-1968). At his receptions, he served an aperitif made with the locally produced crème de cassis and Bourgogne Aligoté white wine. The concoction eventually became known as Kir Apéritif.
