ice cubes |
3/4 ounce gin |
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |

Directions:
1. Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on a plate. Moisten the rim of a chilled champagne flute with water; hold glass upside down and dip rim into sugar.
2. Fill a shaker three-fourths full with ice. Add gin, confectioners' sugar and lemon juice; cover and shake 10-15 seconds or until condensation forms on outside of shaker. Strain into a prepared flute; top with champagne. Yield: 1 serving.
