The French 75 is a superbly elegant cocktail. The name of the drink pays homage to two of France's most powerful weapons- guns and champagne, this drink is a classic New Orleans cocktail.
Recipe:
2 ounces gin or brandy
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons simple syrup
2/3 cup dry champagne, chilled
Garnish with a lemon curl.
Pour the gin, lemon, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into glass. Top with champagne. Garnish with a lemon twist.
This drink is at its most refined when served in a vintage cocktail glass. For something to nibble on, I suggest serving some nice creamy brie and crusty french bread.
