Classic Champagne Cocktail
Here we are, Friday again, and I have another cocktail recipe to share. This cocktail is a wonderful holiday party drink that differs from the typical bar served ‘Champagne cocktail’. Try this one and I think you will agree this drink is far superior to the standard one you have been served in the past! Just remember, never shake a cocktail with champagne in it!
Classic Champagne Cocktail
Ingredients
- 1 sugar cube
- 15 drops of Angostura bitters
- 1 oz brandy or cognac
- champagne
- orange peel
- cherries
Instructions
- Chill a martini or coupe (preferred) glass by filling with ice and letting it stand for a few minutes.
- Empty the ice from the glass.
- Add the sugar cube and drop the bitters onto the cube, saturating it.
- Add the brandy/cognac and dissolve the sugar into it.
- Fill the glass slowly with champagne and garnish with the orange and cherry, if desired.
