Instructions

  1. Chill a Champagne flute or coupe glass in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes (optional, but enhances the experience).
  2. Place the sugar cube in the bottom of the chilled glass.
  3. Add 2-3 dashes of Angostura bitters directly onto the sugar cube, allowing it to soak in briefly.
  4. Slowly pour the chilled Champagne or sparkling wine over the sugar cube, filling the glass. The bitters and sugar will create a gentle fizz as the cube dissolves.
  5. Garnish with an orange twist (gently twist the peel over the drink to release oils, then drop it in) or a maraschino cherry if desired.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your sparkling Champagne cocktail!
