The French 75 cocktail is a timeless classic that effortlessly combines the elegance of gin and the effervescence of champagne. With a splash of lemon, this drink is perfect for any celebration.

  • 15 ml simple syrup
  • 120 ml champagne
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon twist, for garnish
  • Salt (to rim the glass)

Method

  1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
  3. Strain the mixture into a chilled martini or champagne glass. To salt rim the glass, moisten the rim with a lime or lemon wedge, then dip it into a plate of coarse salt, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Slowly top off the glass with champagne, pouring gently to preserve the bubbles.
  5. Add a few blocks of ice.
  6. Garnish with a strip of lemon zest to add a hint of citrus aroma.
