1
Chill glass and wine
Place a champagne flute or coupe in the refrigerator (or freezer for 5–10 minutes) to chill. Ensure the Prosecco or other sparkling wine is well chilled (around 40°F / 4–7°C).

2
Pour 1/4 cup fresh orange juice into a mixing glass or small pitcher. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon simple syrup. Stir gently to combine so the citrus and syrup are integrated but not frothy.
3
Add 1 cup chilled Prosecco (or other dry sparkling wine) to the citrus mixture. Pour slowly down the side of the glass or over the back of a spoon to preserve bubbles and avoid excessive foaming. Stir once gently with a bar spoon (2–3 slow turns) to combine.
4
Add 1 dash of Angostura bitters on top. Bitters will float briefly and then disperse a subtle aromatic layer through the drink.

5
Strain (optional)
Take the chilled glass and strain the mixed sparkling wine into it if you used a separate mixing vessel. If you mixed directly in the serving glass, proceed to final garnish.
6
Express an orange twist over the drink by holding the peel with the outer (oily) side facing down above the glass and giving it a quick twist to release oils; then drop the twist into the drink or hang a thin wheel on the rim.
7
Serve immediately while sparkling. This recipe yields one serving.
