French 75
Let's talk about my new favorite drink, the French 75:
1 ounce gin
1/4 ounce lemon juice
1/8 ounce simple syrup
5 ounces chilled champagne
Shake gin, lemon juice, and syrup with ice. Strain into a champagne flute. Top with champagne.
Some people claim this drink should use cognac instead of gin. Those people would be wrong.
named during WW-I, it became famous as the drink of returning fighter pilots... they would celebrate their safe return and toast their fallen comrades with the French 75. The name came from the most famous artillery weapon to come out of WW-I, known for it's fantastic kick.
RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME: i am now sporting a joan jett-esque hair style. i don't know quite what to make of it, but i think it goes well with the french 75. tomorrow i am picking up my new glasses, so from then on you may refer to me as the "don't fuck with me librarian."
