Stir with ice and strain into coupe. Top with 1.0 oz. of champagne.

It tasted good, as I experimented. That’s about it. I started with a French gin, in honor of Janet Van De Graaff’s bad French accent in Drowsy Chaperone, where she also sings about the broken umbrella, or umbreller.

I made this for a Drowsy Chaperone cast party. No umbrellas were harmed in the construction of this drink.
