Method
Cocktail
- 1
Chill glass
Place a Champagne flute or coupe in the refrigerator or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail (about 5 minutes).
- 2
Combine base ingredients
Into a cocktail shaker, add gin (1.5 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.75 oz), and simple syrup (0.5 oz).
- 3
Add ice and shake
Add ice to the shaker (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted.
- 4
Prep glass and strain
Dump the ice water from the chilled flute (if used). Double-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled Champagne flute using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to catch ice shards and pulp.
- 5
Top with sparkling wine
Carefully top the strained cocktail with about 3 oz of chilled dry Champagne or sparkling wine. Pour slowly down the side of the flute to preserve bubbles and avoid foaming over.
