add all ingredients to shaker tin / shake with ice until chilled / strain into coupe or champagne glass / top with champagne / no garnish (though I used a skeleton leaf)

ABOUT
This cocktail was created in 2008 by Brian Miller for Death & Co. (@deathandcompany). This riff on a French 75 is named after the Hitchcock film and appropriately uses some Northwest-ish spirits (Aviation gin and @stgeorgespirits absinthe). Cheers y’all!
