Equipment

  • Double jigger
  • Mixing glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Citrus zester
  • Champagne flutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ ounces Ascendant Breaker Bourbon
  • ½ ounce Cointreau
  • 10 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
  • 10 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 10 ounces Riverbench Cork Jumper Blanc de Blancs, chilled (enough to fill two champagne flutes)
  • 2 orange peel twists
  • 6 pomegranate seeds, optional

Instructions

  1. Over ice, combine the bourbon, Cointreau and bitters. Stir well. Strain evenly into two champagne flutes. Spiral the orange peel along the inside of the glass. If you wait to do this after adding the sparkling wine, the drink will foam up, so do it now. Add the chilled sparkling wine to fill. (Pouring the sparkling wine should mix the ingredients; if you feel it hasn’t, stir very gently.) If desired, add 3 pomegranate seeds to each drink.
