Directions
10 min.
1. Step
Begin your preparation by keeping your champagne glasses chilled. This will undoubtedly enhance the serving temperature of the cocktail, as experience has taught me the colder, the better when it comes to sparkling wine.
2. Step
Place one sugar cube at the bottom of each champagne flute. Personal experience often points to one sugar cube being just right, but you can adjust to more or less as per your taste.
3. Step
Drizzle a couple dashes of Angostura bitters over each sugar cube. The bitters aren't just for show; they add a complex depth of flavors that really highlight champagne's unique qualities.
4. Step
Slowly fill the glass with champagne, being careful not to fill to the top, allowing space for the garnishes. As a long-time mixer, I must say, take care because champagne is fizzy, and it's so easy to spill over.
5. Step
Twist the lemon slice over the top to release some juice, then drop it into the glass. Adding this refreshing citrus flavor to champagne will create a sublime mixture.
6. Step
Finally, add a cherry to each glass. The cherry brings a subtle sweetness, contrasted by the champagne and bitters, making this cocktail quite balanced and delightful.

Little Italy
I first tried a version of this cocktail at Audrey Saunders’s Pegu Club in Manhattan. A sip later, I was hooked. If you are a Manhattan Cocktail drinker and want to change things up a bit, try this recipe. Angostura, traditionally used in a Manhattan, is replaced with cynar. What to buy: Cynar is an Italian bitter apéritif made from about 13 herbs and plants, the most predominant of which is artichoke. It can be purchased at most liquor stores or online.

Manhattan Cocktail
Proportions for the classic Manhattan are two (sometimes three) parts whiskey to one part sweet vermouth, with a little aromatic boost from bitters. The drink is believed to date from 1874, created by a bartender at New York’s Manhattan Club. “Since New York was a rye town in those days,” writes cocktail expert Dale DeGroff in The Craft of the Cocktail, “the original Manhattan was made with rye whiskey.” Bourbon Manhattans are a thing in the South.

Champagne Holiday Punch
San Francisco mixologist Erick Castro taught us how to make this easy holiday punch. It’s a flexible recipe that works with almost any base spirit. Here we use genever, blended with orange curaçao, simple syrup, bitters, sparkling water, lemon juice, sparkling wine, and a touch of grated nutmeg. Garnish with pineapple slices and whole star anise before serving. You’ll need to make a batch of Rich Simple Syrup and freeze a large block of punch ice before you begin.
