Champagne Cocktail

Makes 1 champagne flute

Whenever I have something to celebrate, and even when I don’t, there’s nothing I love more than a champagne cocktail. Simple, timeless, delicious. It’s one of my go-to drinks, especially in steamy summertime.

Ingredients

  • 1 Sugar Cube

  • Bitters

  • Brut Champagne

  • Maraschino Cherry, or a Twist

Directions

  1. Place the sugar cube in a chilled champagne flute.

  2. Top the sugar cube with 2 or 3 dashes of bitters (Angostura or Peychaud's—I like mine soaked, YMMV).

  3. Fill the glass with brut champagne or another bubbly (Cava or Prosecco make excellent CCs!), pop in a cherry or a lemon twist, and enjoy. Ching-ching!
