History

Reminiscent of a Champagne Cocktail, with brandy, sparkling wine and orange dominating. Surprising how little cherry brandy is evident given the measure used.

Seth Brammer created this in 2016 at Filament restaurant in Dallas, Texas (at 2626 Main St., which closed in August 2017). Seth's original recipe uses the same proportions shown here but features Paul Beau VS cognac, Luxardo Sangue Morlacco, Regan's Orange Bitters, Bakers bitters, and Val de Mer Brut.
