Effervescent Midnight Elixir: A Refreshing Soda & Sparkling Wine Fusion

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup Diet Coke
- 1/2 cup Champagne or Prosecco (dry sparkling wine as an alternative)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
- 2 dashes Fee Brothers West Indian Orange Bitters (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Glasses:
Begin by selecting two elegant wine flutes or cocktail glasses. Add a few ice cubes to each glass to chill.

2. Mix the Base Layer:
Pour 1/4 cup of Diet Coke into each glass, allowing the carbonation to settle slightly as it cascades over the ice.

3. Add the Sparkling Wine:
Slowly add 1/4 cup of Champagne, Prosecco, or your chosen dry sparkling wine to each glass. Pour gently over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect and retain the bubbles.

4. Enhance with Bitters (Optional):
If desired, add one dash of Fee Brothers West Indian Orange Bitters to each glass. This will enhance the citrus notes and add complexity to the drink.

5. Final Touch:
Gently stir each cocktail with a swizzle stick or spoon to combine the ingredients slightly, preserving the effervescent texture. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
