Kir Royale Sorbets image

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!
