This cocktail made 3rd Place (Tie) at the 2007 Tales of the Cocktail, New Orleans, LA. It was created by Martin Cate, now, of the Smuggler's Cove, San Francisco, CA.
- 2 1/2 oz Sparkling Wine
- 1 oz Plymouth Gin
- 1 oz St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
- 1/4 oz Stirrings Blood Orange Bitters
Combine the above in an ice filled mixing glass. Stir until chilled and strain into a Champagne glass. Top with sparkling wine. Garnish with an orange peel spiral.
This one of my favorite cocktails and I love asking Martin to make it whenever he's behind the bar. Luckily for me, I can make it at home and enjoy it after a lovely meal. Cheers!
I tried this with Martin Miller's Westbourne too, thought it gave the drink a little extra punch.
