Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz Champagne or sparkling wine
- 1 Sugar cube
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 Lemon twist
Instructions
Chill a champagne flute in the refrigerator or freezer for 10-15 minutes beforehand for optimal results.
Place a sugar cube in the bottom of the chilled champagne flute.
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters directly onto the sugar cube, allowing it to soak in.
Carefully pour 4 ounces of chilled champagne or sparkling wine into the flute, being mindful of foam to avoid overflow.
Lightly stir the drink with a bar spoon to help the sugar cube dissolve slightly and blend with the bitters and champagne.
Garnish the cocktail with a fresh lemon twist by twisting a strip of lemon peel over the glass to release its essential oils, then dropping it into the drink as decoration.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
