Champagne Flamingo

A short vodka-and-Campari mixture is chilled before a larger sparkling-wine measure completes the drink. Orange peel supplies aroma over the bubbles, and the wine stays out of the shaker throughout preparation.

Active preparation: 3 minutes

Ingredients

• 22.5 ml Vodka
• 22.5 ml Campari
• 150 ml Chilled brut Champagne
• 1 piece Orange peel, for garnish

Instructions

1. Measure vodka and Campari into a shaker and add cubed ice.
2. Seal the shaker and shake briskly until thoroughly cold, about 10–12 seconds.
3. Fine-strain into a chilled flute without ice.
4. Pour in the chilled brut champagne slowly and mix with one gentle lift of a spoon.
5. Express the orange peel over the surface and add it.
