French 75 Cocktail
Mar 17, 2024 08:16 AM
This classic cocktail is a mix of gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup, with Champagne poured on top.
Whenever I want a light cocktail before dinner or a drink to go with brunch, I always opt for the elegant French 75 — not a classic mimosa. With a bright, sunny color, this sparkling, lemon-y cocktail is refreshing, crisp, and bright, with subtle notes of herbs from the gin.
A French 75 is great classic cocktail to celebrate milestones or special events with (it just might be the ultimate Valentine’s Day libation!), but it’s also a great excuse to break open a bottle of Champagne any day you feel like popping a cork.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium lemon
- 1 1/2 ounces gin
- 3/4 ounces simple syrup
- Ice
- 2 ounces chilled dry sparkling wine, such as brut Champagne
Prep Time:
5 minutes
