  • 0.25 oz lemon juice
  • 2 oz sparkling wine
  • Garnish: orange twist

  • Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  • Gently pour in the sparkling wine.
  • Express the orange twist over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in as garnish.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Chill your coupe in the freezer beforehand to keep the drink crisp.
  • Use a dry sparkling wine like Brut Champagne or Cava to balance the liqueurs’ sweetness.
  • A fresh orange twist adds more aroma than pre-cut peel cut it right before serving.
