Total time: 10 min
Yield: 1 servings
Cuisine: Spanish
Ingredients: 6 oz Sparkling wine (FLORES by Carolina Mata or similar dry Cava); 0.5 oz Elderflower liqueur (e.g., St-Germain); 0.25 oz Fresh lemon juice; 0.25 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water); 2 dashes Orange bitters; 1 to taste Lemon twist; 1 to taste Edible flower (optional); 1 to taste Champagne flute or coupe; 1 to taste Bar spoon; 1 to taste Jigger

Med Bag of Chips

Ham, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, and arugula.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Sliced turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mustard in a whole wheat wrap.

Fit Turkey Wrap

Place a champagne flute or coupe in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the other components to ensure the sparkling wine stays crisp.

Chill glass

In a mixing glass or small measuring vessel, add 0.5 oz elderflower liqueur, 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup. Stir briefly with a bar spoon to combine—do not dilute excessively; this is only to marry flavors.

Combine liqueur and citrus

Add 2 dashes of orange bitters to the liqueur-citrus mixture and stir once to integrate the aromatics.

Add bitters

Discard the ice water or remove the chilled glass from the freezer. Pour the liqueur mixture into the chilled flute. Slowly top with 6 oz chilled FLORES sparkling wine (or a dry Cava) poured down the side of the glass to preserve effervescence. Pour gently to avoid excessive foam and loss of carbonation.

Assemble

Give the drink one very gentle stir with a bar spoon (1–2 slow rotations) to incorporate the components without flattening the bubbles.

Finish

Express a lemon twist over the surface of the cocktail to release oils, then run the twist around the rim and drop it into the drink or perch on the rim.

If using, float a small edible flower on the surface for an elegant presentation. Serve immediately while sparkling and cold.

Use a jigger to measure spirits and citrus precisely. Use a bar spoon for gentle stirring. A chilled flute or coupe will maintain temperature and carbonation for best drinking experience.
