I don't know where the "frappé" is in this cocktail. No shaker in sight no?

The term frappé does nor relate to shaking but to a cocktail being served over crushed/cracked ice. I've added a link to the term and generally improved this recipe. The present photo is short of crushed ice but we'll reshoot ASAP.

Hm. I thought I would surely love this, being it contains my 3 favorite French alcohols, but somehow it seems to be missing something. I even tried giving it a stir once the ice was in to see if the dissolved sugar cube would improve it. Might need...more Angostura? Acid? It's kind of flat as it is. Needs brightness. Maybe a simple lemon twist would do it. Will experiment. Thank you!

Enjoyed very much. Would put in about 4 drops of the Angostura as I found the Angostura flavour a bit strong. Overall a great Champaign cocktail. Would recommend as an aperatif, after dinner, or sipping in the evening.
