Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Chill glass

    Place a chilled Champagne flute or coupe in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail. Empty the glass before pouring.

  2. 2

    Combine base ingredients

    Add gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) so the mixture chills quickly.

  3. 3

    Shake

    Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is very cold and the liquid is well chilled and slightly diluted.

  4. 4

    Strain and top

    Double-strain the mixture into the chilled Champagne flute (or coupe) to remove ice shards. Immediately top with 3 fl oz of well-chilled Champagne or dry sparkling wine. Pour gently to preserve bubbles.

  5. 5

    Garnish and serve

    Express a lemon twist over the surface by holding the peel over the glass and giving it a quick twist to release oils, then rub the rim if desired and drop it into the drink. Serve immediately.
