Cocktail Base

3 oz fresh orange juice

3 oz champagne or dry sparkling wine

1/2 oz Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1/2 oz orange liqueur (Triple Sec or Cointreau)

1/2 oz egg white (optional for foam)

1/2 tsp simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)

2 dashes Angostura bitters (optional garnish)

Garnish & Rinse

1 unit orange wheel or twist

1 tsp sugar (for rim, optional)

Ice & Tools

6 cubes ice (for shaking)

1 unit cocktail shaker

1 unit fine strainer

1 unit champagne flute or coupe

Method

Preparation

Rim the glass (optional)

If you want a sugared rim, rub a fresh orange wedge around the lip of your flute or coupe, then dip the rim into a small plate of sugar to coat. Set glass aside.

Prepare egg white (if using)

If adding egg white for a silky foam, separate half an egg (about 0.5 oz) or measure pasteurized liquid egg white. Keep chilled until ready to dry shake.

Build & Shake

Combine base ingredients

Into a cocktail shaker add 3 oz fresh orange juice, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, 0.5 tsp simple syrup, and the 0.5 oz egg white (if using).

Dry shake

Without ice, seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create foam.

Wet shake

Add 6 ice cubes to the shaker, then shake again vigorously for 10–12 seconds to chill and dilute slightly.

Double strain

Open the shaker and strain the chilled mixture through a fine strainer into your prepared flute or coupe, leaving behind ice shards and any solids.

Finish & Serve

Top with sparkling wine

Slowly top the shaken orange mixture with 3 oz chilled champagne or dry sparkling wine. Pour gently to preserve the foam and avoid excessive foaming over the rim.

Garnish & bitters

Add an orange wheel or twist to the rim or float it on the foam. Optionally add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on the foam and use a toothpick to make a simple decorative swirl.

Serve

Serve immediately while the drink is bright, chilled, and effervescent.
