Tart, refreshing and deceptively potent, this sparkling libation is a vodka-based variation on the sparkling French 75. The easiest way to cut a long, thin lemon twist is with a channel knife, which is sold on its own and can also be found on some citrus zesters. Start at one end of the lemon and cut in a circular motion around the fruit.
