Method

Cocktail base

1

Measure and combine

Add 2 tbs Empress gin, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice and 0.5 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.

2

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice, cap, and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.

Strain & top

3

Double-strain the chilled mixture into a flute or coupe using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer (or just a Hawthorne if you don't have a fine strainer).

4

Top gently with 3 oz chilled Prosecco. Pour slowly to preserve bubbles.

Garnish & serve

5

Express a lemon twist over the drink (squeeze the peel to release oils), rub the rim if desired, and drop the twist into the glass.

6

Serve immediately while sparkling and cold.
