Champagne Fizz

Champagne cocktails are a great way to use up the end of a bottle of champagne. Of course, they’re also delicious on their own.

But be aware they’re not always for lightweights. The Champagne Fizz blends a healthy dose of champagne with a standard drink’s worth of gin, plus some lemon and sugar for flavor.

Champagne Fizz

• 1 1/2 ounces gin
• 1 ounce lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon superfine sugar
• 3 ounces chilled champagne

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Pour in your gin, lemon juice and sugar, and shake well. Strain the mixture into a champagne flute, and top it the rest of the way with the chilled champagne.
