Units
Scale

- 3 ounces Champagne or sparkling wine
- 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 ounce simple syrup or a sugar cube
- Lemon slice or lemon twist to garnish
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup *. Strain into a champagne flute or glass over ice.

Notes
To make simple syrup: Combine 1/2 cup sugar and a 1/2 cup water in a small pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Pour into a container and chill until completely cooled. Makes about 1/2 cup of syrup. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
If using a sugar cube, place the cube at the bottom of the flute and pour shaken gin and lemon juice over the top.
