Method

Cocktail Base

1

Prepare

If using egg white, dry-shake the egg white in a cocktail shaker for 15 seconds first (no ice) to build foam. Then add gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and grated ginger to the shaker.

2

Shake with ice

Add a scoop of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well aerated.

Sparkle & Finish

3

Double strain into glass

Strain the shaken mixture through a fine mesh strainer (and a Hawthorne/mesh if available) into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass, leaving room for the sparkling wine.

4

Top with bubbles

Gently top with 2 oz chilled Champagne or dry sparkling wine. Pour slowly to preserve foam.

5

Garnish and serve

Twist a lemon peel over the drink to express the oils, rub the rim with the peel if desired, then drop the twist into the glass. Add an edible flower or microherbs on top of the foam if using. Serve immediately.
