Tips:

  • Chill all ingredients and glassware before making the cocktail for a refreshing, icy drink.

  • Garnish the cocktail with a lemon twist or slice for a finishing touch.
  • For a sweeter cocktail, add 1/2 ounce of simple syrup to the shaker before shaking.
  • For a more sour cocktail, add an extra 1/2 ounce of lemon juice to the shaker before shaking.
  • Experiment with different types of champagne to find one that you like best. A dry champagne will create a more tart cocktail, while a sweeter champagne will create a more balanced drink.
