The champagne cocktail—simple, yet elegant. A delightful special occasion drink.

Why Try? Makes a special drink even more special.

Foodie Byte: • A lemon twist is the traditional garnish. • A brut sparkling wine may be substituted for the Champagne, and brandy may be substituted for the cognac. • Do not chill the glasses prior to serving. Part of the allure of Champagne is the bubbles, and the condensation on the outside of a chilled glass clouds the view.
