How to Make Captivating Champagne

  1. Chill champagne flutes in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Pour 1.5 ounces (44ml) of St. Germain elderflower liqueur into each chilled champagne flute.
  3. Top each flute with 4 ounces (118ml) of chilled Champagne.
  4. Garnish each cocktail with one fresh lychee, or a few lychee slices.
  5. Optional: Add a splash (approximately 1/2 ounce or 15ml) of lychee juice from canned lychees for extra sweetness. If using canned lychees, rinse them well before using to remove excess syrup.
