Champagne Cocktail

By blum099

This simple cocktail uses champagne, a sugar cube, and a few dashes of Angostura Bitters. Best garnished with a lemon twist.

Ingredients

• Sugar cube
• Angostura bitters (Peychaud’s bitters also works very well)
• Dry Champagne or other sparkling wine
• Lemon twist, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Place the sugar cube on a small saucer and douse with two or three dashes of bitters. Place the sugar in the bottom of a champagne flute, and fill with sparkling wine (careful—the sugar will make the wine foam, so go slow). Twist a piece of lemon peel over the drink and use as garnish.
