Ritz of New York

This recipe comes to us from master mixologist Dale DeGroff – in fact, it’s his signature cocktail. A fancy drink deserves a fancy garnish, and you can’t do much fancier than a flamed orange twist. Be sure to rub the twist around the edge of the glass before serving; the smoky citrus oils elevate the drink into something truly profound.

Ingredients
- 1 part Cognac or Brandy
- ½ part Triple sec or Orange curaçao
- 2 dashes Maraschino
- ¼ part Lemon juice
- 1 part Sparkling white wine
Instructions
Shake everything but the sparkling wine with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and top with sparkling wine. Garnish with an orange twist, preferably a flamed one.
