Start by using fresh lemon juice; cut a lemon in half to juice it.

Juice the lemon and use 3/4 ounce of fresh lemon juice.

Measure out 3/4 ounce of simple syrup.

Measure 1.5 ounces of gin, adjusting for the alcohol from the sparkling wine.

Combine the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice.

Shake the mixture vigorously without adding bubbles, about 15 seconds.

Strain the mixture into a champagne flute or cocktail glass.

Open the sparkling wine (cava) carefully, ensuring to keep your thumb over the cork while loosening the wire cage.

Pour the cava gently into the glass to avoid overflow.

Garnish with a lemon twist for aroma and presentation.
