When Cole Porter sang “I get no kick from champagne,” he may have been rambling on about all the wimpy stand-ins trying to pass as the refined, bitter-tinged legend. Adapted from a recipe created for Pierce Brosnan by Salvador Calabrese at the The Lanesborough Hotel in London.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces vodka, straight from the freezer
1/2 ounce chilled Champagne
1/4 ounce absinthe substitute, such as Pernod, Herbsaint or Absente
1 sugar cube
Instructions
Pour the vodka into a well-chilled martini glass. Add the Champagne and stir briefly (don’t shake!). Place the sugar cube onto a barspoon or teaspoon, soak it with the absinthe substitute and ignite it with a match. Drop the flaming sugar cube into the drink.
