Binny's Home Bartender: French 75

Classic Sparkling Gin French 75 Cocktail

French 75

Ingredients

How to make

  1. Mix gin, lemon juice and simple syrup in a shaker with ice
  2. Strain in Champagne glass
  3. Top with Champagne

This gin-soaked sparkling cocktail takes its name from an historic 75mm field cannon. You might guess why: this drink packs a big kick. Like, really big. You can hold back on the gin, but we recommend going for the full pour. Substitute the French 75 for your next bubbly toast. Your guests will be surprised and delighted.
