Time 5m

Yield 1 drink with extra

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 ounce plain vodka
Edible 23-karat gold-leaf sheet (available at baker's supply stores)
1 ounce Rémy Martin XO Cognac
1 ounce Pineau des Charentes aperitif wine
1 ounce white grape juice
1 ounce simple syrup (3 parts water to 1 part sugar)
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice, strained
Dash of Angostura bitters
Veuve Clicquot Champagne, chilled

Steps:

  • Pour vodka in a shallow bowl. Tear off small pieces of the gold leaf with tweezers, avoiding squeezing or folding it (thick pieces will sink). Float the pieces on the vodka.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients (except gold leaf, vodka and Champagne) in an iced metal shaker. Shake vigorously and pour into a trumpet flute, filling 3/4 of the way. Top with Champagne.
  • Pour in the vodka, letting the gold slide onto the surface.
