Method
Cocktail
Chill flute
Place a Champagne flute in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure it is well chilled. Empty the flute before pouring the finished drink.
Combine base ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz Bombay gin, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) so the liquid is well surrounded by ice.
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and the ingredients are well combined and slightly diluted.
Strain
Double-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled Champagne flute using a Hawthorne or fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any pulp from the lemon.
Top with Champagne
Slowly top the flute with about 2.5 oz Brut Champagne. Pour gently down the side of the glass to preserve effervescence and avoid overflowing.
