TIP: for best results, make sure that all the ingredients are chilled before combining. Prepare simple syrup ahead of time and keep it refrigerated. Use cold lemon and chill champagne and gin.
Peel zest off of lemon before squeezing the juices out.
Combine lemon juice, simple syrup, and gin in a champagne glass and give it a quick stir to combine.
Add 3-4 oz. of champagne to the glass to fill the glass.
Twist lemon zest until you see expressed oils come on the skin and drop it in the glass.
