French 75
by Jen
When you want champagne, but it doesn’t have the kick you’re looking for, you can always go for the French 75. It’s a champagne, gin and lemon cocktail with a hell of a kick. Sounds like an odd combination, but it ends up being a pretty interesting blend of fruit and herbal flavors.
The French 75
- 1 ounce gin
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 4 ounces Champagne
Vigorously shake the gin, lemon juice and simple syrup with ice, pour or strain into a tall glass ( ice cubes in the drink are optional). Add the champagne and stir.
Meat!
This drink goes well with beef. A nice, medium rare steak is perfect with a French 75. So is a simple Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. Or a French dip with au jus.
