Re: on order cocktails at a bar or restaurant

There was a week where I started drinking Kir Royals then I realized it was a pink drink in a flute with a big strawberry so it had to go.

I actually like this as an aperitif, although the strawberry thing is new to me.
In fact, some good cocktails/aperitifs are based on champagne: the Kir royal can be modified by using any kind of liquor instead of creme de cassis. If you're in a decent place they'll ask you how dry you want it, and if you have it very dry it's almost like having champagne but with a little tangy twist to it. I can also appreciate a good bellini (pureed fresh peach with prosecco), although here in Canada few places seem to know what it is.
