Heavenly Spirits, main importer of award-winning French spirits, declares the launch of KiKi Vendéen.
The tradtional, before-dinner drink from the Vendée area of France can be referred to as a Vin d’Épines or a troussepinéttè, as it’s made with native wine and the younger sap-laden shoots harvested from blackthorn bushes within the spring. Lengthy thought to be a home made delight to savor with household and buddies, the precise regional recipes have been many and diverse. KiKi can be the nickname generally used for this drink when inviting anyone for a fast late-afternoon or before-dinner apertif. One would say, “Come have a KiKi with me!”
For the primary time ever, Heavenly Spirits presents two distinctive examples of this apéritif with each a pink and a white model. The white KiKi is made with the addition of pear juice harvested from the native Vendée farmers’ co-op.
As a comparatively low ABV, fruit balanced sipper, “KiKi” might be loved chilled at apéritif time with household and buddies, utilized in cocktails or an extended drink. It additionally pairs properly with desserts, particularly fruit tarts or pies. It’s historically served chilled in a small Duralex glass, which can be known as a “KiKi glass.” These KiKi glasses will quickly be obtainable for buy on the Heavenly Spirits web site or at a couple of of their upcoming tasting occasions.
