- - cracked ice
- 2 ounces - gin about 1/4 cup
- 1 teaspoons - simple syrup
- 1 tablespoons - fresh lemon juice
- 5 ounces - chilled brut Champagne about 2/3 cup

Directions:
Chill a cocktail shaker and a glass (a flute or a collins glass) in the freezer. Put ice in shaker; then add gin, syrup, and juice. Shake well.
Fill chilled glass half full of ice, then strain cocktail into glass. Top with Champagne and garnish with a lemon slice, if desired.
