Invented in 2007, by Josh Greenroyd in Chi. Although champagne is not generally accepted as a good mix with orange and tequila, it adds a sparkling edge to the drink which is a highly unusual sensation.
A good Jose Golden Tequila is the better choice for this cocktail, bringing more flavour to it. I'd recommend not using triple sec although it is the cheaper alternative - it doesn't give as much presence in the finished drink.
The quantities for the lime and lemon juice are not definate, as long as 1 oz of fresh juice is added - any less and the drink becomes heavy and cloggy. To give a more champagne-esque cocktail, remove 1 oz. of Tequila and 1/2 oz. Cointreau. Double the quantity of champagne and serve in a chilled flute.
