Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice (about 3/4 medium lemon)
3/4 ounce simple syrup (recipe follows)
2 to 3 ounces chilled Champagne (enough to top the glass)
Lemon peel, for garnish
1/4 cup honey or sugar
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • To make the simple syrup: Combine the honey (or sugar) and water in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, whisking occasionally, just until the honey or sugar has disappeared into the water. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool.
  • To make a cocktail (you can make multiple drinks at once): Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the gin, lemon juice and simple syrup. Securely fasten the cap on the shaker and shake until well chilled, about 20 seconds. Strain the liquid into Champagne glasses and top with Champagne.
  • Twist your lemon peel and hold it for a few seconds to retain the shape. Garnish your glass with the lemon twist, and enjoy this drink while it's cold!

CLASSIC FRENCH 75

Drinkers who know and love the French 75 have strong personal preference on whether to use gin or cognac as the base. This classic recipe offers both options. Pour what you like, or, if you're on the fence, let season or mood determine your choice. Gin tends toward a cleaner, more botanical, refreshing drink, ideal for warmer weather drinking; cognac lends heft and weight, especially great in cooler weather.
