Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Mixing the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 cup of gin, 0.5 cup of fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 cup of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.

  2. 2

    Shaking the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  3. 3

    Straining the Mixture

    Strain the mixture into a champagne flute or a coupe glass, filling it about two-thirds full.

  4. 4

    Adding Champagne

    Top off the strained mixture with 1 cup of chilled champagne, pouring gently to avoid too much fizz.

  5. 5

    Garnishing

    Garnish with a lemon twist by slicing a thin piece of lemon peel and twisting it over the drink to release its oils before placing it in the glass.
