French 75

The French 75 is a classic cocktail that has been around since World War I. It is a refreshing and bubbly drink that combines gin, lemon juice, sugar, and champagne.

To make a French 75, you typically start by shaking gin, lemon juice, and sugar with ice in a cocktail shaker. Then you strain the mixture into a champagne flute or coupe glass, and top it off with chilled champagne. Some people also like to garnish their French 75 with a lemon twist or a cherry.

The resulting cocktail is both tart and sweet, with a fizzy, champagne-induced effervescence that gives it a light and celebratory feel.

It's a great drink to serve at parties, or to enjoy as a pre-dinner or post-dinner drink.

Ingredients:

  • 60 ml gin
  • 20 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • teaspoon simple syrup
  • 60 ml champagne or sparkling wine
  • Ice
  • Lemon twist, for garnish (optional)

Method:

  1. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
  2. Shake until well-chilled and strain into a chilled champagne flute or coupe glass.
  3. Top with champagne or sparkling wine.
  4. Give the drink a gentle stir.
  5. Garnish with a lemon twist, if desired.

Note: Simple syrup is made by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over low heat until the sugar is fully dissolved. Let it cool before using.
