French 75

"The French 75 is a refreshing and citrusy, sparkling gin cocktail that packs a punch."

French 75’s are made with a standard pour of gin and topped with Champagne, so it’s a strong drink in a sparkling dress. In fact, it’s named after the French 75-mm field gun, which was commonly used in World War I..

Served best in a champagne flute.
