The cocktail is named after the French 75mm field gun, known for its kick and used in World War I. It’s simple to make with gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and Champagne and is typically served in a Champagne flute

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz gin

  • 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 oz simple syrup

  • If you like a garnish, top the glass with a swirly lemon peel.

Notes

  • The French 75 is so simple to make and yields an elegant drink, perfect for summer days on the deck or springtime rainy days when you’re stuck inside.
