This is a user-friendly adaptation of a cocktail on the list at City Social, which uses rather less widely accessible ingredients. It’s very Christmassy, easy to make and easier still to drink.
Serves 1
70ml champagne – we use Moët & Chandon Imperial
25ml Pimm’s No1
20ml lager – we use Peroni
2 tsp cinnamon syrup – we use Monin
1 orange slice, to garnish
Pour everything in a mixing glass, stir gently twice (over-mixing will make the champagne and lager lose their bubbles), pour into a champagne flute, garnish and serve.
