Cocktail

0.09 lb (1.5 oz)London dry gin

0.05 lb (0.75 oz)Fresh lemon juice

0.03 lb (0.5 oz)Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)

0.02 lb (0.25 oz)Orange liqueur (Cointreau or triple sec)

0.19 lb (3 oz)Chilled sparkling wine (Brut or extra dry)

1 cup Ice

1 to taste Lemon twist (for garnish)

Cocktail

1. Mix the base

Add gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and orange liqueur to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Use the specified amounts: 1.5 oz gin, 0.75 oz lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 0.25 oz orange liqueur.

2. Shake

Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled (this chills and lightly dilutes the mixture).

3. Strain into glass

Double-strain (using a Hawthorne and fine mesh if available) the shaken mixture into a chilled flute or coupe glass, leaving room for the sparkling wine.

4. Top with sparkling wine

Slowly top the glass with about 3 oz chilled sparkling wine (Brut or extra dry) to preserve the bubbles and integrate without overflowing. Pour gently down the side if needed.

5. Garnish and serve

Express the oils of a lemon twist over the surface, rim the glass with the twist, and drop it into the drink or rest on the rim. Serve immediately while effervescent.
