The French 75 is a classic cocktail from World War I, first made at Harry's New York Bar in Paris. Named after the powerful French 75mm field gun, it's perfect for summer with its refreshing blend of gin, lemon juice, sugar, and Champagne. The French 76 is a close cousin, using vodka instead of gin for a slightly different taste.
To make a French 75, you'll need gin (or vodka for a French 76), freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and Champagne or dry sparkling wine. Simple syrup can be bought or made by dissolving sugar in water. Don't forget a lemon twist for garnish.
Making a French 75 is easy. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add gin (or vodka), lemon juice, and simple syrup, and shake until chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe or fluted glass, top with Champagne, and garnish with a lemon twist. For the French 76, just use vodka instead. Always add the Champagne last to avoid a fizzy mess. Use high-quality spirits and chill your glass for the best experience.
Cheers to enjoying this classic cocktail, perfect for any summer occasion!
