If you like champagne (my people!) then you’re going to adore your favorite bubbles spiked with fresh lemon juice, gin and simple syrup, aka a French 75 Champagne Cocktail. I can’t get over how easy – both in preparation and drinkability – these fizzy sippers are which call for just 4 ingredients and no fancy liqueurs nor mixers.
French 75 Champagne Cocktail
First of all, champagne. Nothing better than a glass of bubbles. And yes, I call it champs, but I’ll spare you and only use that word here once. The remaining three ingredients? Gin, simple syrup (sugar water, y’all,) and fresh lemon juice. French 75 Champagne Cocktails are incredibly refreshing and light. Crisp, bright, not too sweet (if you like Lemon Drop Martinis but think they’re a touch too sweet, you’ll down a French 75,) and just a hint of something fun on account of the gin. These yummy cocktails are fun and easy enough to serve at any party or get-together, but they’d be especially fun to share with your sweetie or gal pals this Valentine’s Day. Let me know if you give them a try!
Like I said – couldn’t be simpler! To a cocktail shaker add gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. I like both Tanqueray and Hendrick’s gin for this recipe! Fill the cocktail shaker 3/4 of the way up with ice then put the lid on top and shake until very, very chilled, 15-20 seconds.
Strain the cocktail into champagne glasses then top with brut champagne or prosecco. Add a twist of lemon peel if you’re feeling fancy, then sip away! I hope you love this easy and delicious cocktail recipe — CHEERS!
