FRENCH 75 RECIPE

When it comes to cocktails, I can be pretty picky. I don’t love dark liquor and I might be the only girl who thinks vodka sodas taste like Windex. At dinner, I tend to drink rosé; if I’m out at a bar, I usually order a Hendricks gin and tonic. I was introduced to this fun twist on a gin cocktail this summer and have been ordering it ever since. It’s light and refreshing and a nice way to partake in happy hour without getting too tipsy. I hope you enjoy!

French 75 (recipe found here)

1. To make one drink, shake 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) gin, 1 1/2 tablespoons (3/4 ounce) lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice.

2. Strain into champagne flute and top with 1/4 cup (2 ounces) champagne.

3. Garnish with lemon twist and serve! We served ours in these champagne flutes on this tray.
