Classic Champagne Cocktail

Bright, bubbly and slightly sweet with warm Cognac notes rounded by aromatic Angostura bitters. It presents elegantly in a flute with a bitters-soaked sugar cube fizzing under a pour of champagne, finished with a lemon twist and half orange slice. Perfect for celebrations or as a light, classic aperitif when you want something simple but refined.
