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.

This recipe is from Eben Freeman, bartender of Tailor Restaurant in New York City. The drink tastes best when served very cold, so Freeman recommends making sure the glass and the sparkling wine are well chilled.

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.
