Craig's Champagne Cocktail

Total Time: 1 min Preparation Time: 1 min

Ingredients

  • Servings: 1
  • 1 sugar cube
  • 1 slice fresh orange
  • 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (grand marnier or similar, or curacao if you want a drier mix)
  • 1 glass champagne or 1 glass dry sparkling wine
  • 3 drops angostura bitters

Recipe

  • 1 place the sugar cube in a wide glass ( brandy glass is ideal).
  • 2 drip the bitters onto the sugar.
  • 3 pour the orange liqueur around the sugar.
  • 4 place the slice of orange on top of the sugar.
  • 5 gently dribble the champagne over the orange slice so that a clear layer is visible between the liqueur and the wine.
  • 6 drink - it gets subtly more lethal as you go down the glass.
  • 7 the diameter of the glass needs to match the diameter of the orange slice for best layering effect.
