Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces (60mL) gin
  • 2 ounces (60mL) freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 ounce (30mL) simple syrup flavored with lemon balm and lemongrass
  • 3 ounces (90mL) Champagne, Cava, prosecco, or other dry sparkling wine

Optional: Lemon balm, lemongrass, and/or lemon peel, for garnish

Step by Step Instructions
 

Step 1

  • Make the simple syrup by combining equal parts sugar and water with a large handful of lemon balm and 2-3 inches of fresh lemongrass.
    Allow to boil for 2-3 minutes, remove aromatics, and set aside to cool (it will thicken as it cools). Strain into a glass container, and store.

Step 2

  • Add ice to a cocktail shaker, and add the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake, and pour into chilled glasses.

Step 3

  • Top with the sparkling wine, and garnish as desired.
