Cocktail

1 oz Empress Gin (or other violet-hued gin)1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice1/2 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)3 oz Prosecco (or other dry sparkling wine), chilled1 cup Ice (for shaking and serving)1 to taste Lemon twist or edible flower (for garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare cocktail base

Fill a cocktail shaker about halfway with ice. Add 1 oz Empress Gin, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup to the shaker.

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels cold and you see fine dilution.

Strain and top

Double-strain (or fine-strain) the shaken mixture into a chilled champagne flute or coupe, leaving room for the sparkling wine. Top gently with 3 oz chilled Prosecco to preserve the bubbles and to allow the drink to layer slightly.

Garnish and serve

Express a lemon twist over the glass to release oils, run it around the rim and drop it in, or float an edible flower. Serve immediately while sparkling.
