Pro Tips

• Chill your champagne: Ensure your champagne or sparkling wine is well-chilled for optimal fizz and flavor.
• Rosemary sprig: Roll the rosemary between your hands lightly to release its aromatic oils before garnishing.
• Glass chilling: A cold flute keeps the drink at the perfect temperature longer and enhances the bubbles.
