Sauterne Cup is best served fresh immediately after mixing. Pre-mixed spirits can be stored in a cool, dark place for several weeks, but carbonated water must be added just before serving.
Mix the brandy, triple sec, and curaçao in advance, but add carbonated water and powdered sugar just before serving to maintain carbonation and prevent over-dilution.
Serve in a wine glass or punch cup over ice to showcase the drink's light color and allow room for the carbonated water.
Triple sec can be replaced with Cointreau; curaçao can swap for Grand Marnier, though this will alter the flavor profile slightly.
Simple syrup works as a substitute—use 1/2 oz instead of 4 tsp powdered sugar for easier mixing and consistent sweetness.
