So I was getting ready to make a champagne cocktail and I realized that
0:05
this is something that I know a lot of people that kind of have issues with this and I have a couple of girlfriends actually who are always like here Joss
0:12
you do it so I'm just going to talk about how to open champagne. I have
0:18
already cut off the top I just took a little knife and and cut off the the
0:24
foil and this is Prosecco, Prosecco, Cava, Champagne, whatever fuzzy wine drink that you're
0:32
having it's all kind of the same. So there's this basket of wire on top and you're gonna
0:38
there's always a little thing, pull this down and you're gonna twist to the left so counterclockwise
0:45
a few times just to loosen it and pull this off. Just separate it a little and the whole
0:52
basket pops off just like that Okay so I actually did learn when I was in bartending school how to take a knife and pop the top but I haven done that in a great many years and I wouldn feel comfortable teaching people that because it can
1:11
kill a man. So we're just going to take this, hold it by the neck, grab the top, and you're going to
1:18
twist and pull at the same time. So, you know, whichever hand, if you're left-handed, right-handed
1:24
whatevs. I'm right handed. So I'm just going to twist and pull and there's a little bit of a pop
1:31
and know it should not spray all over the place. If you want it to spray all over the place, give it
1:36
a good shake before you twist and pull, but know that you are going to get soaked and it's going
1:42
to be a mess. So, so that's my quick tip. Uh, one other little thing about that. You don't really
1:49
want to point this at a person, uh, or, nor at your own eyes, like don't be looking over it
1:55
um, pulling like this, point it away from you and not toward another human being just in case
2:02
So quick kitchen tip. I hope you enjoyed it. Bye
