French 75: Orange Slice + Cherry

• 1.5 ounces of gin (Bombay Sapphire is recommended)
• 2 teaspoons of superfine sugar or 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar
• 1.5 ounces of fresh-squeezed lemon juice
• 4 ounces of chilled champagne
• 1 orange slice
• 1 maraschino cherry

Fill a shaker half full with ice cubes, and then add the gin, sugar, and lemon juice. Shake vigorously until the sugar is dissolved. Pour into a chilled Collins glass and top the glass with champagne. Stir gently until combined and then garnish with the orange slice and the cherry.

I can't remember where I found this recipe, but it calls for an orange slice and cherry instead of a lemon peel. It also wants a collins glass. Very high maintenance!
