Step-by-Step Instructions
01
Ensure both the champagne and the orange juice are thoroughly chilled before starting. For an extra touch of luxury, place your champagne flutes in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
02
Fill each champagne flute halfway with the chilled champagne or prosecco. Pouring the sparkling wine first helps prevent the cocktail from bubbling over.
03
Carefully top off each glass with the chilled orange juice. There is no need to stir, as the bubbles from the wine will naturally mix the drink.
04
Garnish with an optional orange slice or a fresh zest twist and serve immediately while effervescent.
Chef's Tips
For the best results, use a 'Brut' (dry) sparkling wine to balance the sweetness of the orange juice. If you prefer a less sweet drink, increase the ratio of champagne to juice. Always use pulp-free juice for a smoother mouthfeel and a more refined presentation.
