French 75 Cocktail Recipe

A French 75 cocktail only has a few ingredients, but each brings a unique flavor profile to the mix that simply cannot be missed. It’s simple to make yet feels like an elegant cocktail perfect for extra special occasions. 

A Few Key Ingredients for a French 75 Cocktail

• Gin – a subtle addition that brings a bit of spice to the cocktail  
• Lemon – citrusy and sweet, the perfect combination  

• Sugar – you can use a sugar cube or simple syrup

We recommend serving this delicious concoction at tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve celebration to toast to an exciting new year!

Serve it in Style 

• Choose a Festive Glass - A typical French 75 cocktail is served in a tall flute glass due to it being a Champagne-forward drink, however a coupe glass would also be a fun and festive approach to serving.
• Add an Interesting Garnish - The recipe calls for a slice of lemon but you can also try adding a small orange peel to the cocktail as well.
• Serve Alongside an Upscale Napkin - Tie in the theme of the evening with a celebratory cocktail napkin to keep guests comfortable while also adding a touch of style to the gathering.
