Ingredients
- 1 oz Meyer lemon juice, 1-2 lemons
- 1 oz Grand Marnier
- 2 oz cognac, or brandy
- 1 tbsp agave syrup, or honey or sugar syrup
- ice
- 6 oz prosecco, or other sparkling white wine
Instructions
- Combine lemon juice, Grand Marnier, cognac, agave syrup, and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake well and then pour the cocktail into two glasses. Fill each glass with 3 oz of prosecco and add ice if you wish. Garnish the drink with a twist of lemon rind.
Notes
- If you are using regular lemon juice, taste the cocktail and add more syrup if you need to. On a similar note, you can add more sweetener, but you can't take it out. Whether you are using Meyer lemons or regular lemons, I would suggest starting with just a few drops of syrup and add more until you are happy.
- I find that I like to drink this cocktail in a tumbler or old fashioned style glass. The traditional glass is a champagne glass. Do as you will!
