Turn it off and set it aside to steep and come to room temperature
When the simple syrup is cooled it’s time to make the cocktail!
In your champagne glass add the simple syrup, a dash of bitters, a squeeze and lemon juice, and the Bourbon. Give it a stir to combine
Top it off with cold champagne, add a lemon twist, and serve! Cheers to another amazing year!
