Simple French 75

Slip into a Parisian moment: the clink of a chilled flute, a whisper of lemon oils, and bubbles that feel like jazz notes in a tiny Left Bank bar. The French 75 earned its name from a World War I field gun—because when done right, it’s crisp, elegant, and delightfully effective. This version keeps it ultra-simple, with clean proportions and very cold ingredients for maximum sparkle.

Theme: Classic French cocktail culture meets modern simplicity. The secrets are straightforward—fresh lemon, a dry bubbly, and a brisk shake that chills without watering down the party. Keep your glass frosty, your Champagne brut, and your pour confident.

With each sip, bright citrus lifts the gin’s botanicals while the Champagne lays down a fine mousse. It’s a light, celebratory aperitif that turns an ordinary evening into something worth toasting. A lemon twist, expressed properly, is your final flourish—subtle perfume, big payoff.
