The best way to say "Happy New Year" is with champagne, and why not turn that into a cocktail! This easy-to-build drink dates back to the mid 1800's and is a simple blend of champagne, bitters, and sugar. This year, however, I believe we've all earned a little something extra in our cocktail, so I'm adding a bit of cognac. It's completely optional of course, but I think the addition makes this version the best. I hope you enjoy this take on the classic. Here's to a fresh start.
Happy New Year!
