1/2 oz Lemon Juice

Two Sundays ago, I reached for A Spot at the Bar after my work shift. There, I was intrigued by the Fortune Cocktail that appeared like an apple and mint take on the French 75. The drink was actually inspired by the Serendipity Cocktail from the Hemingway Bar inside the Ritz Paris; that sparkling drink had apple brandy, mint, sugar, and Champagne, but instead of lemon juice, it included a portion of apple juice to provide the tartness.
