Strawberry Rhubarb French 75
This Strawberry Rhubarb French 75 is a beautiful pink drink that is tart and slightly sweeter than the classic French 75.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce gin
- 1 1/2 ounce simple syrup strawberry rhubarb flavor
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 ounces sparkling wine chilled, dry
- strawberry sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In cocktail shaker, combine gin, syrup, and ice the shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
- Strain into chilled Champagne flute or coupe and top with sparkling wine.
- If using, add sliced strawberry and then serve.
Notes
- Use a dry sparkling wine (champagne, cava, prosecco, etc.) instead of sweet. The Strawberry Rhubarb Syrup is sweet enough, you don’t need any additional sweetness from the champagne.
- If you want to make this in advance, combines the simple syrup and gin. Store it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve then add the champagne.
- If you want to make this in a larger batch (12 servings), combine 2 1/4 cups Gin with 1 3/4 cups Strawberry Rhubarb Syrup in a small pitcher. Store in the fridge. When ready to serve, evenly distribute into 12 serving glasses and top with champagne. This large batch recipe makes enough for 1 bottle of champagne.
- Using a good quality gin makes all the difference. Bad gin just burns, but top shelf gin is much smoother with actual flavor. Hendricks Gin for example has floral and cucumber flavors.

- This recipe is gluten free. If you have questions about using gin, read this post ‘Is gin gluten free?’
- I used a jigger to measure out the liquids for this drink. It’s great for cocktails as it measures under 2 ounces at a time. However, any small measure cup works.
- This is the cocktail shaker I used.
