1. Put the caster sugar and 250ml water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the grated ginger and lemon zest. Cool, then strain out the bits.
2. Pour into a jug, add a couple of shakes of Angostura bitters and top up with the bottle of chilled Champagne or sparkling wine. Add the halved, very thin slices of lemon.

  Excellent. Very easy to make - I totally forgot to add the bitters but it was still good. Make sure you stir the jug before stirring as the syrup can settle a bit at the bottom. I think this quantity would do 1 and 1/2 bottles of fizz.
