JUMP TO RECIPE
We strongly advise you to read the cooking tips before jumping to the recipe though
Tips
-
sugar/simple syrup
To make a simple syrup, mix equal parts of sugar and hot water until sugar has dissolved. Wait until the syrup cools and then store it in a bottle. -
variations
A common variation of French 75 is one when gin is replaced with brandy or Cognac. -
garnish
The IBA recipe does not list any garnishings. However, a lemon peel is an often used garnish. If using a lemon peel garnish, it is recommended to peel the lemon over the cocktail, so the oils get expressed into the drink. -
drinkware
The standard option is a Champagne flute, but older recipes for French 75 state that a highball glass was used in the early days of the cocktail.
