Hey Robert; Jason Wilson of the the Washington Post suggest using "Cocchi Americano" in lieu of Kana Lillet or today's lillet Blanc as it has more of the original flavor of the original.
Using an ounce of rich simple syrup would seem to me to make this drink overly sweet. It's a nice idea, but I'd probably go a bit light on the syrup. Must buy some champagne and give it a try.
Hey Robert; A late follow up but check out Jason Wilson's column in the Washington Post today: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/08/AR2009060803353.html?hpid=smartliving
Not only a nice piece of writing but also some great recipe ideas.
Robert, the Bijou is my favorite cocktail ever since reading about it in Jason Wilson's spirits column in the Washington Post. I tried the Ritz Bijou last week but it didn't have the flavor of the original for me.
