Method
Cocktail
- 1
Chill glass
Place a Champagne flute or coupe in the refrigerator or freezer while you prepare the cocktail to keep the drink cold longer.
- 2
Combine base ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz gin, 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and about 1 cup of ice. The ice amount should be enough to fill the shaker roughly halfway so the ingredients chill quickly without over-diluting.
- 3
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels very cold and you see condensation. This both chills and dilutes the mixture appropriately.
- 4
Strain into glass
Remove the chilled flute or coupe from the fridge. Double-strain the shaken mixture (using the shaker's strainer and a fine mesh strainer if available) into the glass to remove small ice shards and any pulp from the lemon juice.
- 5
Top with sparkling wine
Carefully top the strained cocktail with about 3 oz of chilled Champagne or dry sparkling wine. Pour slowly down the side of the glass to preserve the bubbles and avoid foaming over.
