Ingredients:

A good prosecco, not too sweet (recommended: Nino Franco Rustico)

A good cognac (recommended: Courvoisier or Remy Martin, though Landy is good)

Benedictine

Method:

Take a pair of chilled champagne flutes; pour no more than a quarter of the glass with cognac.

Splash in a little Benedictine (don’t get carried away).

Fill the rest of the glass with prosecco.

Serve immediately with hazelnuts and chocolate or a plate of mild cheeses and fruit.

Prince optional.
