Garnish: Exactly one short narrow lemon zest twist at the rim

1. 01

   Pre-chill one classic V-shaped cocktail glass, chill 30 ml dry sparkling wine separately, and cut exactly one short narrow lemon zest twist.

2. 02

   Measure 30 ml cognac, 15 ml elderflower liqueur, 7.5 ml crème de cassis, and 15 ml fresh lemon juice into a shaker; do not add the sparkling wine.

3. 03

   Fill the shaker with solid cold ice, seal firmly, and shake hard for 10–12 seconds until thoroughly chilled.

4. 04

   Fine-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled cocktail glass so the surface is clean.

5. 05

   Top gently with 30 ml chilled dry sparkling wine and give one careful lift with a bar spoon without knocking out the bubbles.

6. 06

   Express the single lemon twist over the drink, affix it neatly at the rim, and serve immediately without another garnish.
