Serves

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 6 dashes bitters
- 2 ounces Fino sherry
- 8 ounces sparkling wine, chilled
- Pink tuile cookies, for garnish (optional)
Equipment
- 2 Flute glasses
Instructions
- In each of two flute glasses, combine 1 teaspoon of sugar, 3 dashes of bitters, and 1 ounce of sherry. Using a long-handled spoon, stir until the sugar has dissolved (see Cook's Note). Add 4 ounces of sparkling wine to each glass. Gently stir to combine. Garnish with a cookie and serve at once.
Cook's Notes
It's important to get the sugar dissolved into the first addition of liquids. Stirring too aggressively once the sparkling wine has been added can result in a bubbly mess spilling out of your glass!
