Base & Spirit

Method

Prepare & Mix

1

Chill glass

Place a champagne flute (or coupe) in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

2

Combine base ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz gin, 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and (if using) 1 dash Angostura bitters. Fill the shaker about two-thirds with ice.

3

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted. This both chills and lightly dilutes the base.

4

Strain

Discard ice/water from the chilled flute. Double-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled champagne flute (use a Hawthorne strainer and fine mesh strainer if available) to remove small ice shards and any pulp.

Finish & Serve

5

Top with sparkling wine

Gently pour 3 oz of cold sparkling wine down the side of the flute so the drink retains as much effervescence as possible. Pouring slowly prevents excessive foaming.

6

Garnish

Express a lemon twist over the surface to release oils and drop it into the drink, or place a thin lemon wheel on the rim. If using, lightly slap the herb sprig between your palms to activate aromatics and rest it across the rim or float it on the surface.

7

Serve immediately

Serve the Prime 75 right away while the sparkling wine is lively. Recommend one cocktail per person.
