French 75
Description
The French 75 cocktail is prepared by shaking gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup over ice and straining it into a champagne flute or coupe. It is then topped with chilled champagne or Prosecco, which adds bubbles and a dry finish. The lemon twist garnish imparts a subtle citrus aroma enhancing the overall refreshing character.
