A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare your glass
Set out a clean highball glass for each serving. Add 120 g of fresh cubed ice to each glass just before pouring.
Measure into your shaker
Measure one serving of vodka, lemon juice, cassis, and syrup into the shaker. Keep all sparkling wine, berries, and lemon garnish aside.
Shake until properly cold
Use one serving of the measured ingredients per batch. Add 180 g cubed ice and seal the shaker. Shake firmly until the outside feels very cold. Repeat with fresh mixing ice for each serving.
Strain and finish
Use a cocktail strainer and a fine-mesh sieve to pour into the prepared highball glass. Add the measured cold sparkling wine to the strained drink over serving ice, then stir once gently. Never shake sparkling wine. Add the measured garnish and serve immediately.
