champagne cocktail

Sparkling wine concoction

A champagne cocktail is a drink made by adding a sugar cube soaked in bitters to a glass of champagne, typically garnished with a lemon twist.

The sugar dissolves slowly, sweetening the wine as you drink.

Variations substitute sparkling wine for true champagne or add a splash of cognac.
