Cocktail
Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
Place a Champagne flute or coupe in the freezer for a few minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.
Combine base ingredients
Add gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Use the specified quantities: 1.5 oz gin, 0.5 oz lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup.
Shake
Shake vigorously for about 10–12 seconds until the shaker feels cold. This chills and slightly dilutes the mixture.
Strain
Discard the ice or water from the chilled flute or coupe. Double-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer if available to remove ice shards and citrus pulp.
Top with sparkling wine
Carefully top the strained gin-lemon mixture with about 3 oz of chilled Champagne or other dry sparkling wine. Pour gently to preserve bubbles and avoid overflowing.
