Champagne Julep
Lower in strength than most old-school julep cocktails, champagne adds a zing if not a sparkle

The recipe is good if you strain it into a coupe and top with the sparkling. I put this together into a julep cup with cubed ice and it shown potential. But I agree the cognac and/or the sugar needs to be bumped up in smart measures to make this work over crushed ice.

I’d triple or even quadruple the cognac in this recipe. Then it’s truly decadent.
