The true recipe (as here) includes a sugar cube which, in deference to a spot of type 2 diabetes, I will be omitting. Mine has a Spanish twist, using Spanish brandy and Spanish Cava, as opposed to the much more expensive French ingredients.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recipePlanning\">\n<h2 class=\"recipe\">Planning<\/h2>\n<table class=\"recipeTiming\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"recipeTimingTitle\">serves:<\/td>\n<td class=\"recipeTimingData\">\n\t  1\n\t  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"recipeTimingTitle\">preparation time:<\/td>\n<td class=\"recipeTimingData\">\n\t  2 mins\n\t  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"recipeTimingTitle\">cooking time:<\/td>\n<td class=\"recipeTimingData\">\n\t  n\/a\n\t  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"recipeIngredients\">\n<h2 class=\"recipe\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li>\n\t  1 sugar cube\n      <\/li>\n<li>\n\t  &frac14; tsp Angostura bitters\n      <\/li>\n<li>\n\t  10 ml Cognac\/brandy\n      <\/li>\n<li>\n\t  75 ml COLD Champage\/Cava\/Prosecco\n      <\/li>\n<li>\n\t  strip of orange peel\n      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"recipeMethod\">\n<h2 class=\"recipe\">Method<\/h2>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Put the sugar cube on a small dish and drizzle with the bitters, turning a few times to coat all sides.
