History

Brandy provides a solid base for citrus notes, brightened and crisped by a dash of brut sparkling wine.

Dale DeGroff created this drink in New York City. It first appeared in his 2002 book, The Craft Of The Cocktail. DeGroff states, "This is my tribute to the Ritz cocktails of Paris and Madrid."
