Champagne Cocktail
user ratingThe champagne cocktail was first recorded in Jerry Thomas’s 1862 book How To Mix Drinks, or The Bon Vivant’s Companion, where he almost certainly mistakenly specifies this as a shaken drink. That would be explosive. Another early reference to champagne cocktails is in Mark Twain’s 1869 novel, Innocents Abroad. It is thought the drink found popularity after a bartender named John Dougherty won an 1899 New York cocktail competition with a similar drink named Business Brace.
Ingredients:1 cube brown sugar
3 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters
1 shot(s) Courvoisier V.S.O.P. cognac
