The mixologists at Ace Hotel Chicago's City Mouse restaurant wanted to make a bubbly Valentine's cocktail with a deep, rich color, so they turned to the Kir Royale for inspiration. This cocktail, inspired by the saint of courtly love, St. Valentine, uses Alessio Bianco vermouth as the base and crème de cassis for a sweet berry component.
