When champagne deserves a little extra sparkle, this Lisa-tini Martini delivers pure elegance in a glass.

Ingredients

  • crushed ice
  • lemon vodka
    ½
    cup
  • orange liqueur
    1
    tablespoon
  • chilled champagne
    1½
    cups
  • fresh orange
    4
    slices

Tips

  1. Replace lemon vodka with regular vodka and add a splash of fresh lemon juice for a more tart flavor.

  2. Use blood orange slices instead of regular orange for a dramatic color and slightly different flavor profile.

  3. Substitute prosecco for champagne to make a more budget-friendly version without sacrificing taste.

  4. Add a few drops of orange bitters for extra depth and complexity.

Storage

This cocktail is best served immediately after preparation. The ingredients can be prepped and chilled ahead of time, but mix just before serving to maintain the champagne's effervescence.

Steps:

Prepare the Shaker
Fill a martini shaker halfway with crushed ice to create the perfect chilling base for your cocktail.
Add Spirits
Pour the lemon vodka and orange liqueur into the shaker over the ice, creating the flavor foundation of your martini.
Add Champagne
Carefully fill the remaining space in the shaker with chilled champagne, being gentle to preserve the bubbles.
Shake and Strain
Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds, then strain into chilled martini glasses.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish each glass with a fresh orange slice and serve immediately while the champagne is still bubbly.

FAQ

Yes, you can use a large mason jar with a tight lid as an alternative. Just make sure to strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer before serving.
Any dry champagne or sparkling wine works well. Brut or extra brut champagne provides the best balance, but prosecco is also an excellent and more affordable option.
This cocktail is best mixed and served immediately to preserve the champagne bubbles. However, you can pre-chill all ingredients and have everything ready to mix when guests arrive.
While you can’t replicate the exact flavors, you can create a mocktail using sparkling grape juice, orange juice, and lemon juice with fresh orange garnish.
