Sips & Tips
Technique
Pour the champagne first, then the OJ — this preserves more bubbles. Use fresh-squeezed orange juice; the pulp is fine. Chill everything beforehand.
Balance
Equal parts is classic, but adjust to taste. More champagne = drier and more elegant. More OJ = sweeter and more approachable. A dry Cava or Crémant works as well as Champagne.
