subheading: BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

Cocktail recipes are classically presented in fluid ounces and measured with a jigger; in this recipe we’ve listed liquid ingredients in both fluid ounces and tablespoon/teaspoon measures. Dry Prosecco, cava, or American sparkling wine will all work well. The really good stuff will also work, but the rest of the ingredients in this drink will overwhelm any expensive subtleties. St. Germain is a sweet French liqueur flavored with elderflower. For the orange twist, take a ½-inch wide, 1½-inch long, shallow swipe of orange zest with a vegetable peeler, trying your best to avoid any of the unpleasantly bitter white pith that sits just below.
