Champage Brunch Cocktail, the French 75
A Classic French 75 Cocktail Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 oz Sipsmith Gin
- 3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 3/4 oz Simple Syrup
- 2 oz Sparkling Wine I love this sparkling wine as it's also lovely to drink on it's own.
- 1 lemon twist for garnish
- 1 bourbon cocktail cherry (I love this brand)
Instructions
- First combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker (this is my favorite!).
- Next, fill your shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously about 20 seconds. You'll want the outside of the shaker to become incredibly cold.
- Next strain your cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer directly into your champagne flute.
- Last, top with Champagne and garnish with a twist of lemon. I always add a little bourbon cocktail cherry to my French 75, they are sweet and delicious and make the best added garnish! Just pre-warning: do not eat too many of these alone! They are boozy!
