Bubbly Martini

The Bubbly Martini stirs gin with champagne instead of vermouth — a minimalist, effervescent take on the classic. The key, as the recipe itself notes, is that the quality of the drink is proportional to the quality of the champagne used. It’s an elegant sipper that falls somewhere between a classic Martini and a champagne cocktail, with the gin’s botanicals playing against the champagne’s yeasty complexity. Garnished with two olives.
