You can't go wrong French 75 if you want a light, refreshing and sweet drink. This cocktail can also be made from vodka, champagne, whiskey and other ingredients. This classic recipe features a hint o lemon and is perfect for entertaining. Its sweetness makes it the ideal aperitif, and it works well with simple syrup.
Although this drink can be made in many different ways, the basic recipe remains the same. The cocktail's citrus flavors are given by lemon juice and gin. Champagne gives it a sparkling edge. Garnish with rosemary or lemon peel to give the drink a sophisticated look. A flute can be used instead of a Collins glass.

In 1920, France produced the original French 75. Harry MacElhone (the proprietor of Harry's New York Bar) is the person who is credited with the invention. But he did not claim that he invented it. He took credit for Boulevardier, and other cocktails.
After World War I ended, the French 75 became a beloved cocktail in the United States. This is why it's still so popular today. It is also a favourite at brunch. It was often served in an ice-filled Collins glass during the early years. Now, the flute serve has been adopted.
Angostura (or orange) is the most widely used bitter in French 75. There are many brands that you can try. Try different flavors to find one that suits you best.
You can also add fresh pomegranate juice for color and flavor. Some people prefer lime juice over lemon. Some people add powdered Sugar to make it sherbet-like.

How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is typically served in chilled glasses. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
A martini can be served with two olives. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
Make a martini by adding 2 ounces of dry Vermouth to a shaker. Add 1 ounce vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Be careful not to stir the mixture too much. Only enough is needed to combine all of the ingredients.
