Moroccan Champagne Cocktail

I’m a sucker for a classic champagne cocktail. The simple elegance of sparkling wine dressed up with a sugar cube, a drop of bitters, and a lemon twist evokes visions of another era full of glamorous women in black cocktail dresses and diamonds slinking through dimly lit hotel bars. My version is inspired by what I consider to be the quintessential Moroccan flavor combination: orange and almond.
