Champagne & Sparkling Wine

Garnish (optional)

Method

Preparation

1

Chill and prepare glassware

Chill the Champagne or sparkling wine in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Place flutes in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes or fill them with ice water for 5 minutes then discard ice water and dry.

2

Prepare orange juice

If using fresh oranges, roll each orange firmly on the counter to loosen juice, cut in half, and squeeze to yield fresh orange juice. Strain juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove pulp and seeds if desired. Keep juice chilled.

Assembly (per serving)

3

Hold the flute at a slight angle and pour about 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of freshly squeezed orange juice into the base of the flute.

4

Slowly top with about 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of chilled Champagne or sparkling wine poured gently down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles and prevent overflow. The traditional ratio is roughly 1 part juice to 2 parts Champagne, but adjust to taste.

5

Do not stir. Lightly tap the flute to bring any big bubbles to the surface if needed.

6

Garnish: If desired, add a thin orange slice or twist on the rim or drop a halved strawberry into the flute for a touch of color and aroma.

7

Serve immediately while bubbly and chilled.
