I think it's better that way but Roslind loves that cheap ass
sparkling lemonade (which contains no actual lemons at all).
Actually I can easily pass on all versions of Snowballs, not being
fond of Advocat.

     Title: Champagne Julep
Categories: alcohol, beverages
  Servings: 1

     10    leaves of fresh mint,
           stemmed
      1 ts simple syrup
      2 oz cognac
           Chilled brut Champagne or
           other brut sparkling wine
           Plenty of crushed ice

1. Place the mint leaves in the bottom of a julep cup or tall glass
and gently bruise with a muddler or wooden spoon, taking care to
coat the sides of the glass with the aromatic oils; crushing or
grinding the mint will lend an unpleasant bitter taste to the drink. 

2. Add the simple syrup or sugar (stir it with a few drops of water
to help it dissolve) and a splash of cognac, then lightly stir. Fill
the glass with crushed ice. 

3. Add the remainder of the cognac, then top with crushed ice and
briskly stir the mixture until the glass frosts, adding more crushed
ice as needed. Slowly add chilled Champagne or other brut sparkling
wine to fill and give a light stir (watch out for foam!). 

4. Garnish with a mint sprig and spear with a straw. Let the drink
sit for a minute or two before indulging. Aaaah.
