House & Garden

Fizzes, which have been popular drinks in the late morning and afternoon, are usually served in highball glasses. They are made from liquor, citrus juices, and sugar, shaken with ice. The mixture is strained into glasses, which are then filled with club soda or other carbonated drink, including champagne. Egg, both yolk and white, is used in some fizzes.

This variation on the Champagne cocktail skips the standard Angostura bitters in favor of herbal, honeyed Benedictine liqueur and fragrant crème de cacao.
