Notes
Choose quality champagne for the best taste. Keep the drink chilled from start to finish. If you're hosting a party, prepare the garnishes ahead of time for easy assembly.
Feel free to mix things up! Sometimes I swap the lemon twist for an orange one for a bit more zest. For a sweet surprise, try adding a bit of fruit liqueur.
