Tips
Choose a good Champagne because it contributes to the majority of the flavor.
For this and all Champagne cocktails, it is best to add the Champagne at the very last minute. Open the bottle right before serving for the freshest bubbles and the best visual effect as the sugar cube dissolves.
For faster service at a party, prepare all of the glasses you need with everything except the Champagne. Once the bottle is open, start pouring down the line of glasses.
