1
Chill the Glass
Start by chilling a champagne flute or coupe glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 oz of gin, 0.5 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
3
Strain the Mixture
Empty the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass, filling it about halfway.
4
Top with Champagne
Gently top off the strained mixture with 3 oz of champagne, pouring slowly to preserve the bubbles.
5
Garnish
Finally, garnish your French 75 with a twist of lemon peel. Simply twist the peel over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
