Kir RoyalevsSgroppino
Which one fits your taste?
Kir Royale
A French aperitif of crème de cassis topped with sparkling champagne for a berry-tinted fizz.
Sgroppino
Venice's palate-cleansing digestif: a chilled, frothy blend of lemon sorbet, vodka, and prosecco that tastes like a grown-up granita.

Which should you pick?
Pick the Kir Royale if you want something smoother and less tart. Go with the Sgroppino if you'd rather have something bright and citrus-forward. Both are sweet and approachable and light and refreshing, so if you enjoy one you'll likely appreciate the other.
