CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL
1 sugar cube
2 dashes angostura bitters
¼ measure cognac
champagne
The CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL was a perfect way to toast our arrival in Canandaigua, New York, where we are spending the weekend skiing at Bristol Mountain. As you can see from the photo, we drove through a white-knuckle patch of freeway, and the gang of family and friends I’m with are happy to be alive.
So, it was with great joy and lit of spirit that that I made the CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL. To make it yourself, start with chilled champagne and a champagne flute. Drop a sugar cube into the flute and add two dashes of Angostura bitters. Angostura bitters are aromatic spices and as such, and are a wonderful find. I’m going to have to see what else I can do with them. After dropping the two dashes in, slowly roll the sugar lump around in the bitters, and be sure to smirk and smile while you do it. Then add the ¼ measure of cognac and fill the rest of the flute up with champagne. Be sure to give a cheers to something or someone and sip delicately.
The CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL was a yummy way to mix up the usual champagne. As much as I like champagne, I needed to give it some pizzazz. Watching the sugar cube fizz in the drink is fun and the cognac mixed nicely. It was different and a hit with everyone. Cheers to a good weekend!
It was delicious
