Method

Preparation

Chill glass

Place a Champagne flute or coupe in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure the final drink is well chilled.

Mixing

Add Absolut Pear vodka (1.5 oz), elderflower liqueur (0.5 oz), fresh lime juice (0.5 oz), and simple syrup (0.25 oz, optional) into a cocktail shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) and secure the lid.

Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold (this chills and slightly dilutes the base for balance).

Discard the ice or water from the chilled flute/coupe if you used it to chill the glass.

Strain the chilled mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cocktail strainer into the chilled Champagne flute, leaving about 1/3 of the glass empty for sparkling wine.

Finishing

Slowly top with cold dry Champagne or sparkling wine (3 oz). Pour gently down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles and avoid foaming over.

Garnish with a thin pear slice slid onto the rim or floated on top and/or a lime twist expressed over the drink and dropped in.

Serve immediately while the Champagne is effervescent.
