Champagne Cocktail Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Chill a champagne flute or coupe glass by filling it with ice water. Allow it to sit while you prepare the cocktail.

2. 2

   Add the Sugar Cube

   In a separate mixing glass, place the sugar cube and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters directly onto it. Allow the bitters to soak into the sugar.

3. 3

   Muddle the Ingredients

   Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the sugar cube and bitters together until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

4. 4

   Add the Cognac

   Pour 1 oz of Couprie Cognac into the mixing glass with the muddled sugar and bitters. Stir gently to combine.

5. 5

   Strain the Mixture

   Remove the ice water from the chilled glass. Using a strainer, pour the cognac mixture into the prepared champagne flute or coupe glass.

6. 6

   Top with Champagne

   Carefully add 4 oz of Joseph Perrier Brut Champagne to the glass, pouring slowly to avoid overflow and mixing.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

   Twist a lemon peel over the drink to release its oils and drop it into the glass as a garnish. Serve immediately.
