Mix the applejack, brandy, triple sec, and lemon juice in advance, then top with chilled champagne just before serving to preserve carbonation.
Use a dry or brut champagne to avoid excessive sweetness and let the brandy and applejack flavors shine.
Fresh lemon juice is essential; adjust the amount slightly based on your lemon's acidity and desired tartness level.
Serve in a champagne flute or coupe glass to showcase the bubbles and keep the drink chilled.
