Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ ounces* vodka
- ¾ ounce lemon juice
- ½ ounce simple syrup
- 3 ounces champagne or Prosecco (about 1/2 glass)**
- Cocktail cherry, optional
Instructions
- Place the vodka, lemon juice, and syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake 15 seconds until cold. Strain the liquid into a champagne flute. (You can also pour these ingredients right into the flute, but the classic method is to use a cocktail shaker. If desired, shake up to 4 drinks at one time.)
- Place a cherry in the bottom of the glass. Top off the glass with champagne and serve.
- Party variation for 8 servings: In a pitcher, stir together 1 ½ cups vodka, ¾ cup lemon juice, and ½ cup simple syrup and refrigerate until serving (or stir with 1 handful of ice, then discard the ice). When serving, add 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) of the vodka mixture to each glass with 3 ounces champagne.
Notes
*To convert to tablespoons, 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons
**You’ll get 8 drinks per 1 750 mL bottle of champagne.
