Ingredients
Scale

Notes
- For batching, multiply the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup amounts. Mix these base ingredients ahead of time and keep them chilled. Add the champagne just before serving to maintain carbonation.
- If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, increase the simple syrup to 0.75 oz.
- Use a dry Champagne for the best balance against the citrus.
