Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a champagne flute or coupe glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice, then secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

Serving

  1. 3

    Strain and Pour

    Remove the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the shaken mixture into the glass, filling it about halfway.

  2. 4

    Top with Bubbles

    Slowly top the gin mixture with champagne or sparkling wine, pouring gently to maintain the bubbles.

  3. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish your French 75 with a twist of lemon peel. Simply cut a thin slice of lemon peel and twist it over the cocktail to release its oils, then drop it in.
