shot of gin (can use more or less depending on taste/drunkeness desire) lemon juice, a tablespoon or two about half a cup (4oz) of champagne. Either use sweet champagne, or use brut champagne with a teaspoon of powdered sugar/dash simple syrup. Tradition would have you use dry champagne and sugar.
Basically, mix the gin, lemon juice, and sugar or simple syrup if using, then top with chilled champagne.
There are a lot of ways to dress up this drink, with orange slices and maraschino cherries, other fruit juice in place of or in conjunction with the lemon juice, but the basic ratio of 1 part gin to 4 parts champagne should not be diluted with more than 1 part of something else!
