FRENCH 75
Most people think nothing of popping a bottle of Champagne on New Year's Eve. Yet after that first celebratory glass, few consider taking an extra step and using the wine as the foundation for a cocktail or two. "They're bright and crisp and delicious," said Meaghan Dorman, a bartender at Raines Law Room in the Flatiron District. And ideal for New Year's Eve. "They are usually low in spirit, so if I'm out having a few drinks, I would have French 75s. It's wine and spirit, so I'd feel I wasn't overdoing it on superstrong spirit drinks." She and her fellow bartender Lauren Davis call this judicious drinking tactic the Champagne Maintain. "It's our theory on lasting all night and still staying a lady," Ms. Dorman said.

- Strain into chilled flute or cocktail coupe. Top with Champagne. Garnish with lemon twist.
FRENCH 75
The French 75 cocktail dates back to 1915 and was an invention born from necessity. The usual mixer, soda water, was in short supply due to the war, so the French started topping their gin with readily available Champagne instead and voila! It was an instant classic. Nowadays, we can raise our glasses to this light and easy spritz on both special and everyday occasions alike.

BASIL FRENCH 75
All kinds of cocktails perk up when herbs are added to the mix. The key to extracting the herbs' flavors and fragrant oils is muddling -- done with a traditional bar tool (that's similar to a mortar and pestle but gentler on delicate leaves) or the end of a wooden spoon. Try these cocktails: Mint-Ginger Caipiroska, Cilantro Negroni, Tequila-Thyme Lemonade

CLASSIC FRENCH 75
Drinkers who know and love the French 75 have strong personal preference on whether to use gin or cognac as the base. This classic recipe offers both options. Pour what you like, or, if you're on the fence, let season or mood determine your choice. Gin tends toward a cleaner, more botanical, refreshing drink, ideal for warmer weather drinking; cognac lends heft and weight, especially great in cooler weather.
