Ingredients
| 5 | white sugar cubes |
|---|---|
| 15 | drops Angostura bitters, 3 per sugar cube |
| 5–6 ice cubes per glass (almost the most important part of the drink) | |
| 100ml | triple sec (or Cointreau, if you like it), 20ml per glass |
| 100ml | decent cognac (Remy Martin or Courvoisier, say), 20ml per glass |
| 1 | bottle of champagne, 150ml per glass |
| 5 | thin slices of orange |
Method
Take five roomy stemmed glasses; a finely made large tulip-shaped red wine glass might be appropriate here. Pop a sugar cube into each glass and shake the drops of Angostura over each one. Divide the ice between the glasses and pour over the triple sec and cognac. Now pour in the champagne. Carefully does it; be skimpy with the initial pour, then return to the first glass and top each one up until the champagne is evenly distributed. Slide a slice of orange into each glass and then stir with a long thin spoon to distribute all the components. Drink with great joy!
