Truffle Sparkling
Build ∙ 2 min ∙ 13% ABV ∙
The Truffle Sparkling is a built, low-proof highball of truffle-infused gin, chocolate cordial, and dry sparkling wine, poured over ice in a wine glass. Fizzy and rich at once, with a velvety cocoa weight that softens into a crisp, bright finish lifted by fresh lemon oil.

Tips
- Pre-chill the wine glass so the sparkling wine keeps its fizz instead of flattening on contact with a warm glass.
- Pour the chocolate cordial in before the sparkling wine to keep the topping foam controlled rather than overflowing the glass.
- Stir only briefly after building — over-stirring knocks the bubbles out of the sparkling wine.
FAQ
How do you make a sparkling cocktail like this one?
Build it directly in an ice-filled, pre-chilled wine glass: pour the truffle gin, chocolate cordial, and dry sparkling wine together, stir briefly, then express a lemon twist over the top as garnish. Building over ice rather than shaking or stirring separately keeps the sparkling wine's bubbles intact.
Does truffle pair well with sparkling wine?
Yes, truffle's earthy depth contrasts well with dry sparkling wine's acidity and bubbles, which is why this cocktail pairs truffle gin with a sparkling wine top.
