A Belle Époque classic — gin, lemon, and a champagne crown. Celebration in a flute.
Open in Mixit →Ingredients
- 30 ml Gin
- 15 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 7 ml Simple syrup
- 90 ml Chilled champagne
- Lemon peel (for twist) × 1
- 240 ml Ice cubes
Method
-
Shake the base
Add gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to a shaker with ice. Shake hard for 12 seconds until ice-cold.
-
Strain into flute
Double-strain into a chilled champagne flute — pour through the shaker's strainer and a fine sieve at the same time so no ice shards slip through.
-
Top with champagne
Slowly top up the flute with chilled champagne to preserve the bubbles.
-
Garnish
Express the oils from a lemon peel over the surface — hold the peel skin-side down and give it a sharp squeeze so its oils mist over the drink — then twist and drop it in.
