- 1/3 glass fresh orange juice, chilled
- 2/3 glass champagne, sparkling wine (brut), Cava, or Prosecco, chilled
- 1 fresh strawberry, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Take a clean champagne flute chilled if possible to maintain the cool temperature of the drink.
- Add Orange Juice: Fill the champagne flute about one-third full with fresh, chilled orange juice.
- Top with Champagne: Gently pour the chilled champagne, sparkling wine, Cava, or Prosecco into the flute, filling it to about two-thirds, allowing the drink to mix naturally without stirring.

Notes
- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chilling both the orange juice and sparkling wine enhances the cocktail’s refreshing quality.
- Do not stir after pouring the champagne as this can reduce the bubbles.
- Variations include using blood orange juice or adding a splash of triple sec for extra citrus flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal fizz and freshness.
