Champagne Cocktail

One of the simplest cocktails in existence, but also one of the most sophisticated. For special occasions, or to create special occasions.

1 Sugar Cube
Angostura Bitters

Fill a champagne flute with Champagne. Place the sugar cube over the top of the Angostura and invert the bottle. When the cube has taken in a sufficient amount of bitters, drop the the cube into the bottom of the glass, preferably in front of the drink's consumer.

Note: "Champagne" can be taken to mean any sparkling wine, though this specific cocktail may demand a more rigid reading of the phrase.

Enjoy.
