This simple classic originally appeared in “The Bartender’s Guide,” an 1862 tome by Jerry Thomas. Full of timeless recipes, the book has become an essential resource to bartenders, both professional and amateur. While some of the book’s recipes may be difficult to reproduce with today’s ingredients, the Champagne Cocktail is easy. Chances are high that you have everything you need to mix one: sparkling wine, Angostura bitters, sugar and a lemon twist.
Using those straightforward ingredients, follow the directions of bartender, consultant and educator Jacques Bezuidenhout, who provides this recipe.
