Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp grated lemon zest, plus 6 lemon peel strips
  • 2 cup cold water
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (from 6 lemons)
  • 1 (750-milliliter) bottle chilled dry sparkling wine

Instructions

  1. Place sugar and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Using the back of a spoon, stir and crush the mixture until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add water and lemon juice; whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer the lemonade to a small pitcher.
  2. Divide the lemonade among 6 white-wine glasses (1/2 cup each). Slowly pour wine (about 1/2 cup each) into the glasses. Squeeze and rub 1 lemon peel strip over a glass to release essential oils. Gently drop the peel into the glass. Repeat with the remaining 5 lemon peel strips. Serve immediately.
