[Flirtini losing all the fizz]

I'm no expert but it seems to me that, if you don't like the taste of the drink without the bubbles, you're probably not going to like the taste much more with the bubbles.

 

I don't know about that - I doubt many people like flat coke.  I've had the drink in the place the video is from and it is pretty good.

 

 

Thanks for the links weinoo.  I'll have a go at those and see if I fare any better.

[Flirtini losing all the fizz]

I'm trying my hand at making some champagne cocktails but I'm not having much success.

 

I'm trying to follow

on youtube.  I think I'm following his steps pretty much, but the second I pour champagne into the glass it loses all fizz - every single bubble.  The guy in the video just poured his straight in and it seemed fine, but even when I try tilting the glass so it gently enters the mixture, it flows down the glass fine, but the second it hits the mixture it basically explodes into a fizzy mess.  It tastes pretty awful.

 

Does anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong, or what I could try to make it work?
