KIR
A classic kir is made with aligoté wine and crème de cassis (black currant liqueur), both of which come from the Burgundy region of France. Once you have the classic down (a glass of white wine with just a hint of cassis), variations abound. Substitute sparkling wine for the aligoté, and it becomes a kir royale. Add red wine, and it's a Bourgogne. If you're over wine entirely, dry hard cider (and a splash of Calvados, if you're feeling extra) turns the drink into a kir Normand, its name nodding to Normandy. Whatever base you choose, kirs easily veer saccharine when weighed down with a hefty pour of crème de cassis. Exercise restraint with the potent liqueur - aim for a more dusty rose hue than magenta - but feel free to drink in rapid succession.

Spread on sheet pan and slowly dry out in a preheated 225 degree oven for 3 hours. Ginger slices should be dried but still chewy.

KIR ROYALE SORBETS
Kir became a favorite drink of mine (cassis and wine), then Kir Royale quickly became a new favorite (cassis and champagne). So when we made this for a dinner party in Scotland, this combined my favorite drink with ice cream! This is well worth the time it takes to freeze multiple times!

KIR, AND KIR ROYALE
When we lived in Scotland, Kir, or Kir Royale were the drinks I enjoyed the most. Royale was a special occasion drink, like Christmas or New Year, and Kir was the typical standby for pretty much everything else.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful kiwis. Look for kiwis that are firm but slightly soft to the touch, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid kiwis that are hard, wrinkled, or have bruises.
- Peel and slice the kiwis before using. Use a sharp knife to peel the kiwis, then slice them into thin slices.
- Kiwis can be used in a variety of dishes, including salads, smoothies, desserts, and main courses. They can also be used as a garnish.
- Kiwis are a good source of vitamins C and E, as well as potassium and fiber. They are also low in calories and fat.
- If you are allergic to latex, you may also be allergic to kiwis. If you experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
Conclusion:
Kiwis are a delicious and nutritious fruit that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and they are also low in calories and fat. If you are looking for a healthy and refreshing fruit to add to your diet, kiwis are a great option.
