Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 oz Champagne or sparkling wine
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 piece Sugar cube
- 1 piece Lemon or orange twist
Instructions
Chill a champagne flute in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until cold. Alternatively, place ice in the glass and remove it before starting.
Place a single sugar cube in the bottom of the chilled champagne flute.
Add two dashes of Angostura bitters directly onto the sugar cube, allowing the cube to soak up the bitters.
Slowly pour 5 oz of chilled champagne or sparkling wine into the glass. Pour carefully to preserve the bubbles and avoid overflow.
Garnish the cocktail with a lemon or orange twist by holding the twist above the glass to release its oils before dropping it in or hanging it on the rim.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Classic Champagne Cocktail.
