A beautiful blend of gin with citrus and chilled sparkling wine. Serves 1.

The French 75, a classic cocktail, is a delightful blend of gin, fresh lemon juice, sugar, and sparkling wine. Originating in Paris during World War I, it packs a punch with its crisp, citrusy notes and effervescence. The zing of lemon, the botanicals of gin, and the bubbly elegance of champagne, make it a timeless favourite at cocktail soirées and a symbol of sophisticated sipping.

  2. Top with sparkling wine and garnish with lemon zest
