How to make the Best French 75

The drink dates to World War I, and an early form was created in 1915 at the New York Bar in Paris-later Harry's New York Bar-by barman Harry MacElhone. The combination was said to have such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm field gun.

Thank you Hernan! it is great to see and means a lot. We did the classics and wanted to put that out there. There seems to be an appetite (I mean 'Thirst') for more content which we will surely start putting together. Thank you for the kind words.

It is coming up really fast! Good tip - if you are having a few people over or going to a house party, is to batch up a few servings of the gin, lemon, simple syrup mix. Then you can simply top up with your sparkling wine giving you more time for fun!
