Notes
✘ Get creative with the kind of bubbles you add to this drink! You can use American sparkling wine, Italian Prosecco, or Spanish Cava. You'll find solid choices anywhere between the $15-20 range.✘ The key is to make sure your sparkling wine is very dry. The simple syrup adds a bit of sweetness to the drink, so if your wine is already somewhat sweet, your cocktail will be too sweet.✘ Fresh lemon juice is essential for the recipe, please do not use bottled juice.✘ Use a middle-of-the-road vodka for this drink. You don't need the quality that you would use in a martini, since you are mixing it with other ingredients, but don't use rail vodka. Your head will thank you tomorrow. Our favorites are Absolut, Titos, or Grey Duck Vodkas.✘ A Luxardo cherry is the preferred garnish, but you can easily swap it out and use a lemon twist instead.
