Classic Champagne Cocktail: A vintage Cognac and bitters cocktail based on a 1860s recipe
Classic Champagne Cocktail
As I’m an extremely cool person when I have a bit of free time over the holidays I like to look at a cheeky bit of cocktail history. Jerry Thomas’ “How to Mix Drinks” is the oldest known cocktail book written with bartenders in mind, sometimes known by other names such as “The Bar-tender’s Guide” or “A Bon Vivant’s Companion”. “Oxford Night Caps” predates this (1872) and was written by Richard Cook as a collection of drinks enjoyed at Oxford Universities halls and residences in the early 1800s.
Difford’s guide has some great articles on cocktail history and this cocktail which inspired this post.
The “Champagne Cocktail” was originally made without Cognac and with a lemon twist.
Since the drink is so old it has had plenty of time for people to improve upon it as well as argue about it. Although comments made by people arguing about this drink in the mid 19th century seem to be a lot more passive aggressive than the more blatant insults seen on social media today.
The cocktail remains popular today, with it even being on the menu of one of the first cocktail bars I worked in.
Difford’s guide puts together an updated spec with a few useful hints including to use VSOP cognac from the fridge or freezer and to not crush the cube.
This drink is rather tasty especially with the biscuity notes of the champagne. If price is an issue I won’t tell anyone if you use a good Cava, Crèmant or other traditional method wine.
I personally enjoy a bit of bitters and sugar at the bottoms of my glass and enjoy the fact I’m drinking history but if you’re “that guy” feel free to use syrup and bitters.
The sugar does fall apart into the drink over time, if you make yours without changing camera position, lenses, settings & lighting every time you pour something it won’t degrade as much by the time you drink it
If you wanna be a classy bartender soak the cube on a napkin atop the flute
25ml Chilled VSOP Cognac
Angostura bitters soaked sugar cube (4-5 dashes)
Champagne
Orange oils (discard after)
Master The Classics: Champagne Cocktail
It's about time we tackle classics involving Champagne and what better drink to do that with than a classic Champagne Cocktail?
Noted cocktail historian David Wondrich has referred to this drink as having come from the Iron Age of American Mixology which he regards as the final prehistoric period between the invention of the modern Cocktail whenever that was and 1862 the year Jerry The Professor Thomas published the very first cocktail book.
Referred to as Chorus Girl Milk in refrence to the ease by which these little babies are imbibed, it's first recorded appearance was in San Francisco around 1850. It has been noted that in the past this drink was made with a sweeter style of champagne such as sec or demi-sec but that has been replaced in modern times with the drier Brut style champagne.
Noted Barman Joseph Haywood made a variation adding Cognac in 1895.
A note on garnish: In this video I have opted to leave out the lemon twist, but if you wanted to make this in a more traditional style add a Lemon Twist.
Also the specs at the end say 2 dashes of Angostura in the video I did 4. this has to do with the dasher top I'm using. For more info ask me and I'll tell ya.
