What is used as a garnish for a Kir Royale?

The proper garnish for a Kir Royale is a twist, which typically refers to a twist of lemon peel. This garnish not only adds an appealing visual element to the drink but also enhances the aromatic profile, complementing the flavors of the sparkling wine and crème de cassis that make up the Kir Royale. The twist provides a hint of citrus aroma that can elevate the overall drinking experience, making it a fitting choice for this elegant cocktail.

Other options, while they may be used as garnishes in different cocktails, do not match the traditional presentation of a Kir Royale.
