There are many versions of this classic cocktail but I have taken this one from Dale DeGroff's 2008 The Essential Cocktail where Dale credits this recipe to the Ritz Bar in Paris, France, circa 1936.

Review

A subtle hint of biscuity champagne shines through this very quaffable drink.

Delicious! I don’t have grenadine pomegranate syrup but tastes just fine without it. A perfect cocktail for sitting on the patio enjoying a warm spring afternoon

This was outstanding with a brunch. A hint of the mimosa with the orange juice, but the cognac puts this into another category.
