A half-teaspoon of a saltwater solution—and Angostura bitters—give exceptional balance to this slight tweak on the classic French 75. We liked the clean flavors that resulted from almost-equal proportions of gin and sparkling wine. To prepare the saltwater solution, combine half a teaspoon of Diamond Crystal kosher salt and 6 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon water.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the lemon juice, simple syrup, saltwater solution, gin and bitters. Fill the shaker with ice, then shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Pour into a flute glass and top with the sparkling wine.
