FRENCH 75 COCKTAIL RECIPE

May.posted by Paula 3 Comments

Jump to Recipe

French 75 Cocktail Recipe is a bubbly combination that features the bright flavors of gin and lemon juice with a touch of sugar.

This is a delightful and refreshing drink for brunch instead of mimosas.

French 75 Cocktail Recipe

Your measurements are 3-2-1-3 for the gin, lemon juice, syrup, champagne for this recipe. So that’s 3 parts gin, 2 parts lemon juice, 1 part simple syrup, and 3 parts champagne. (Although, you can add more or less champagne if you choose.) You can use that ratio for any quantity. Therefore, for one drink you can do 3 ounces gin, 2 ounces lemon juice, 1 ounce simple syrup, and 3 ounces champagne. For a pitcher, you can do 3 cups gin, 2 cups lemon juice, 1 cup simple syrup, and 3 cups champagne. Get it?

However, remember, the champagne will fizz so leave room in your glass for it to rise without overflowing.

FRENCH 75 COCKTAIL RECIPE

I like cocktail recipes like I like other recipes, simple. Even though this cocktail has a fancy name, it’s simple, easy, and with few ingredients. With only a few ingredients, you’ll want to make sure each ingredient is of good quality since each flavor shines through.

I recommend a ‘good’ gin for your French 75. I realize ‘good’ is subjective. However, I like Hendrick’s and Bombay.

French 75 is a cocktail made from gin, Champagne, lemon juice, and sugar. It is also called a 75 Cocktail, or in French simply a Soixante Quinze. The drink dates to World War I, and an early form was created in 1915 at the New York Bar in Paris.

I also like to refrigerate all the liquid ingredients. By doing this your drink will be super cold and I love super cold drinks on hot, balmy days!

BUT FIRST

Before you squeeze, zest, muddle, or shake make your lemon twist or orange twist or lime twist! You’ll never get a nice twist from a lemon, lime, or orange that’s already been squeezed.

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE SYRUP

Simple Syrup is an essential ingredient for many cocktails. It sweetens drinks without having the grit of granulated sugar. I stick with the basic 1:1 ratio of sugar to water.

  1. In a saucepan combine equal parts water and sugar.
  2. Heat over medium-high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Cool to room temperature.
  4. Transfer the simple syrup to a glass storage container with a tight-fitting lid.

 

Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary based on the products used.
