French 75 Cocktail

Consisting of gin, fresh lemon juice, sugar and Champagne, the drink is a lot friendlier than its name implies. Elegant and effervescent, the French 75 is named for the fast-firing 75 millimeter field gun that French soldiers used during World War One. It is said that it "hits like a French 75."

    • 1 ounce gin
    • ½ ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
    • ½ ounce simple syrup
  2. Separately

  2. Strain into a Champagne flute.
  3. Top with the Champagne or sparkling wine of choice.
  4. Garnish with a lemon twist.
