Bartender top tips
There’s nothing worse than a warm drink (unless it’s a cuppa of the Queens tea!) so ensure all the elements of this cocktail are cold. We shake most of the ingredients to ensure this is the case but please also remember to chill your Champagne or Prosecco well in advance of needing it plus, take your cocktails to the stratosphere by carefully pre-chilling your Champagne flutes in the freezer too!
