Method
Cocktail
Chill flute
Place a Champagne flute or coupe in the refrigerator or fill with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
Measure and combine
In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz gin, 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice, 0.5 oz apricot liqueur, and 0.25 oz simple syrup.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker feels very cold. This chills and slightly dilutes the mixture for balance.
Strain
Discard ice or water from the chilled flute. Double-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled flute using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer (or just a fine strainer) to catch ice shards and pulp.
Top with sparkling wine
Carefully top the glass with 3 oz well-chilled Prosecco, pouring gently down the side to preserve bubbles and avoid a foamy overflow. Do not shake or stir after adding the sparkling wine.
