Method
Cocktail
Combine base ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add organic gin (1.5 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.75 oz), and simple syrup (0.5 oz). Fill the shaker with ice (enough to three-quarters fill).
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted. This chills and lightly dilutes the mixture.
Strain
Double-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled flute or coupe using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and pulp. Fill the glass about two-thirds full.
Top with champagne
Carefully top the cocktail with chilled champagne or dry sparkling wine (about 3 oz). Pour slowly down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles and avoid excessive foaming.
