1
Chill glass
Place a coupe or chilled martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Combine base ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz gin, 0.75 oz Lillet Blanc, 0.5 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes orange bitters.
3
Add ice and shake
Add ice (about 6 cubes) to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
4
Strain
Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled coupe/martini glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and pulp.
5
Top with sparkling wine
Carefully top the cocktail with 2 oz (about a splash) of chilled Champagne or other dry sparkling wine. Pour gently down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation.
6
Garnish and serve
Express the oils from a lemon twist over the cocktail by holding the twist over the drink and giving it a quick squeeze, then run the twist around the rim and drop it into the glass. Optionally add an edible flower or mint sprig for appearance. Serve immediately.
