The French 75 is a classic cocktail that has a twist. It combines gin, lemon and simple syrup. It's the perfect drink for any celebration!
Invented in 1927, the French 75 got its name for the field gun that was popular during World War I. This drink can be enjoyed with a glass Champagne in the winter on a cool day.
The simple recipe uses gin with lemon juice and simple syrup. However, you can try different combinations. You could use other spirits instead, like honey, raspberry, or pear.
The gin in this variation of the classic French 75 adds a floral note that complements the sweetness from the simple syrup. Add a lemon slice and some fresh rosemary sprigs to the drink for an extra floral note.
You can also substitute dry Champagne for prosecco, which will give the French 75 a more delicate fizz. Use less sugar syrup so that the true flavor of Champagne can shine through.
Another fun option is to use a fruity liqueur instead of gin, like St. Germain elderflower liqueur, for an extra floral twist on this classic cocktail.
If you're feeling adventurous, you can experiment with other citrus fruits as well. Orange, Grapefruit, or Lemon are all great options. You can add some lime to brighten the flavors.
Sugar syrup or granulated sweetener can be used to make the drink sweeter. This version is a good option for those who are looking for a sherbet-like taste, or if you want to cut the alcohol by about half.
It's easy to make the gin-based French 75 by shaking everything and then straining into your favorite glass. You can even serve it over ice if you like.
If you would like to make this a non-alcoholic cocktail, mix the ingredients first and then add seltzer. You can garnish this cocktail with fresh mint or lemon slices for a more fruity flavor.
Powdered sugar can be used to add sweetness similar to sherbet, but it is not required. Just be sure to use a granulated sugar that is a coarser consistency than caster.
A pomegranate French75 cocktail is festive, colorful and a great way to try a gin-based sparkling drink. Making the pomegranate easy syrup is super simple and only requires a couple of ingredients.
You can find this drink at many bars and restaurants across the country, and it's a great addition to any summer party menu! You can also prepare this gin based cocktail and store it in your fridge until ready to serve.
