Directions

10 min.
1. Step

Begin your preparation by keeping your champagne glasses chilled. This will undoubtedly enhance the serving temperature of the cocktail, as experience has taught me the colder, the better when it comes to sparkling wine.

2. Step

Place one sugar cube at the bottom of each champagne flute. Personal experience often points to one sugar cube being just right, but you can adjust to more or less as per your taste.

3. Step

Drizzle a couple dashes of Angostura bitters over each sugar cube. The bitters aren't just for show; they add a complex depth of flavors that really highlight champagne's unique qualities.

4. Step

Slowly fill the glass with champagne, being careful not to fill to the top, allowing space for the garnishes. As a long-time mixer, I must say, take care because champagne is fizzy, and it's so easy to spill over.

5. Step

Twist the lemon slice over the top to release some juice, then drop it into the glass. Adding this refreshing citrus flavor to champagne will create a sublime mixture.

6. Step

Finally, add a cherry to each glass. The cherry brings a subtle sweetness, contrasted by the champagne and bitters, making this cocktail quite balanced and delightful.
