1/2 oz simple syrup
juice of half lemon
lemon peel to garnish
Method- makes 1 cocktail
- Mix gin, simple syrup and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker over ice. Mix vigorously until your shaker is frosted over.
- Strain. Pour into a champagne flute and top with cold champagne. Garnish with lemon peel.
- Notes: I always make my simple syrup with fruit or herb infusions. A lemon simple syrup really elevates this cocktail.
