Method

How to make Seelbach

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill a clear flute, cut exactly one very short narrow orange zest twist, and keep the Champagne refrigerated.

  2. 02

    Pour the bourbon, triple sec, two dashes of Creole-style bitters, and two dashes of aromatic bitters into the empty chilled flute.

  3. 03

    Tilt the flute slightly and pour the cold Champagne slowly down the inside wall; never shake the carbonated wine.

  4. 04

    Straighten the glass as it fills, stopping below the rim so the fine foam cannot overflow.

  5. 05

    Give one very gentle lift with a bar spoon only if needed to integrate the base without losing bubbles.

  6. 06

    Express the single compact orange twist over the surface, retain it neatly at the rim, and serve immediately.
