Our bubbly update on the classic Champagne cocktail features a piece of candied ginger rather than a bitters-saturated sugar cube.

Ingredients

  • 6 pieces candied ginger (each about 2 inches)

  • 1 bottle (6.7 ounces) angostura bitters

  • 2 bottles (750 milliliters) Champagne brut, such as Perrier-Jouet, chilled

Directions

  1. Place ginger in a small bowl. Pour bitters over; cover. Let stand at room temperature 4 hours.

  2. Strain, reserving liquid for another use. Slice each piece of ginger in half lengthwise. Drop one half into the bottom of each of 12 Champagne coupes or flutes. Top with Champagne; serve immediately.
