Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces champagne or sparkling wine
- 1 ounce orange liqueur (e.g., Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 0.5 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 ounce simple syrup
- 1 serving fresh raspberries or lemon twist (for garnish)
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Chill your champagne flute in the freezer for about 10 minutes before assembling the drink.
In a cocktail shaker, combine orange liqueur, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Add 4 ice cubes to the shaker, then shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients.
Remove the chilled champagne flute from the freezer and strain the mixture into the glass.
Slowly pour the champagne or sparkling wine over the mixture in the flute to preserve the bubbles.
Gently stir once to combine, ensuring the liquid layers blend without losing the fizz.
Garnish with a fresh raspberry dropped into the glass or a lemon twist perched on the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy!
