Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Chill a flute in the freezer for a few minutes.

2. 2

   Put the gin, lemon juice and syrup in a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice.

3. 3

   Shake hard until the outside of the shaker feels frosty, about 15 seconds.

4. 4

   Strain into the cold flute.

5. 5

   Top slowly with the Champagne so it does not foam over.

6. 6

   Pinch the twist over the glass so its scent sprays over the drink, then drop it in and serve.
