It’s always tempting to stay indoors in the autumn months as temperatures dip and darkness steadily creeps in. Whether you’re entertaining, hosting a romantic dinner for two or just want to treat yourself after a busy day at work, this decadent cocktail from Fortnum’s – a twist on a classic champagne tipple – is a celebration in a glass. Grab your finest champagne flute and enjoy.

YOU WILL NEED

  • 1 white sugar cube
  • Angostura bitters
  • 25ml cognac
  • 125ml champagne
