Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 oz gin or cognac
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice fresh
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 3 oz Champagne (or sparkling wine, chilled)
  • Ice
  • Garnish: Lemon twist

Instructions
 

  • Combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well until chilled.
  • Strain the mixture into a chilled Champagne flute or coupe glass.
  • Slowly pour the Champagne to fill the glass, and gently stir to combine.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist

Notes

  • Cognac can be used instead of gin for a richer, warmer version. This was actually the original spirit used in the cocktail.
  • Simple syrup is equal parts sugar and water, heated until dissolved, then cooled. It keeps in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
  • Any dry sparkling wine works if you don't have champagne. Cava or Prosecco are good alternatives.
Both metric and US customary measurements are included. Use the toggle on the recipe card to switch between the two.
