Crush with a meat tenderizer or potato masher releasing the juice from the oranges. Strain the juice through a small colander into a clean small bowl. With a spoon press down on the skins of the oranges to expel as much as the juice as possible. Throw away the remaining flesh. Stir in gin, sugar and bitters into the juice. Strain again using a small sieve or cheese cloth into a 2 cup measuring cup. Chill for 4 hours.
  2. Pour 1-2 ounces of gin mixture into a champagne flute. Fill with sparkling wine and garnish with an orange peel or segment.
