The Raymond Massey is a cocktail made of rye, ginger syrup, and champagne. The drink's namesake is Canadian actor Raymond Massey (1896–1983), and the beverage is predominantly consumed in his hometown of Toronto, Ontario.
Ginger syrup can be prepared in advance much as simple syrup, but with the inclusion of 3/4 cup (~180 mL) of peeled and sliced ginger.
Variations
When gin is substituted for the whisky and lemon juice for the ginger syrup, the drink is called a French 75.[1]
