Champagne Cocktail

By

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.
