Count Currey

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounce Gin
  • 1 tsp simple syrup
  • Champagne

Directions

The Count Currey Cocktail is a sophisticated and bubbly gin-based drink that infuses the crispness of champagne with the delicate sweetness of simple syrup. Creating a balance between botanicals and bubbles, this cocktail is perfect for celebrations or as a refined aperitif.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin and simple syrup.

Fill the shaker with ice, then shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, ensuring the mixture is well chilled.

Strain the mixture into a Champagne Flute, ensuring a smooth pour without disturbing the bubbles.

Top the drink with champagne, tilting the glass slightly to preserve the effervescence.

Gently stir to integrate the layers without dissipating the bubbles.

Optionally, garnish with a thin lemon, orange twist or a few juniper berries for an additional hint of gin botanicals.
