    • A bit of controversy surrounds the origins of this gin cocktail, but whether its city of birth was Paris or New Orleans, this is a drink meant for celebrations. It's light, fizzy, and festive.

    Ingredients

    Makes: drink

      • 2 ounces (1/4 cup) dry gin
      • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
      • 2 teaspoons superfine sugar
      • Chilled champagne or other dry sparkling wine
      • Cracked ice
      • Garnish: lemon slice
      • Equipment: a cocktail shaker and strainer; a 16-ounce highball glass

    Directions

    Half fill the cocktail shaker with cracked ice, then add gin, lemon juice, and sugar. Shake the mixture vigorously, then strain it into a highball glass packed with cracked ice. Fill the glass slowly with champagne and give it a stir.
