the French 75

The cannon shot heard ‘round the bar.

Originally gin, brandy, lemon and grenadine, the French 75 has evolved from a “cannon” (it’s named after WWI French field artillery) to a more elegant cocktail, somewhere between a Tom Collins and a Champagne cocktail.

• 1.5 oz Rhodium Forager’s Gin

• half oz lemon juice

• 1 tsp simple syrup

• Dry Champagne or prosecco

Shake gin, lemon, syrup with ice to mix, strain into champagne glass. Fill with Champagne or prosecco. Garnish with lemon zest.
