French Kiss
This French Kiss cocktail is a simple and elegant sparkling drink with just the right amount of sweetness and the perfect color.
You know what you sometimes just need? Bubbly. Luckily, we typically always have a bottle (or two) on hand just for those occasions, typically a cava or a prosecco… My studly husband knows that when I’m sad, his first question is, “Bubbly?” And because I also have a love for Chambord, thus, the French Kiss was created!
This week has totally warranted bubbly. And special bubbly. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll drink a mimosa any time of the day. But for this night, we wanted something just as easy but just kicked up a notch. So we added a touch of Chambord, a raspberry-flavored liquor.
So, a glass of bubbly, with just a touch of Chambord for color (it’s a strong flavored liquor so you only need a slight splash), and we had what we dubbed, a French Kiss. Because bubbly = special occasions = New Years = midnight kiss + Chambord = France = Well, that was enough for me.
Or, French Kiss because the Chambord just ‘kisses’ the bubbly. 🙂
Either way, this is a quick, easy, elegant little cocktail. Perfect for both a night of bubbly, snuggles, popcorn, and a movie, the ideal way to end a super stressful, long week, a celebration, or even New Years Eve!

Isn’t this a kir royale?
Is it? French Kiss sounds better, to me. Ha.
No they are totally different.
Yes – it’s a Kir Royale.
Love this because I love both ingredients. Putting them together is just right! AND my husband and I often have popcorn and bubbly.
You’re a girl after my own heart, Christine!
