Caveats: Not a huge fan of champagne cocktails so far, though I very much enjoyed the Old Cuban. This cocktail isn’t bad as such, but doesn’t really shine either, hence my 3 stars. My attempt at this cocktail might’ve been negatively impacted by the sparkling wine used (a cheap product I happened to receive in a raffle), so a better version or preference for champagne cocktails might bump up the score. At least worth trying out for its distinctiveness.

I also added a single ice cube to the glass which I think actually improved the flavour a bit and also meant that I could drink it a bit more leisurely (the flute doesn’t have much mass for retaining the cold and both the Chartreuse and the blue curaçao are likely to be at room temperature).

I made mine with Piper Heidsieck champagne, and I also added an ice cube, it really stands out as a champagne cocktail. In my flutes it made a teal color, quite visually striking too.
