Classic French 75 Cocktail Recipe

French 75 Recipe (as popularized by Harry MacElhone)

  • 2 ounces Gin (London Dry is traditionally recommended)
  • 3/4 ounce Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 ounce Simple Syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until dissolved)
  • 3 ounces Champagne (Brut or Extra Brut recommended)
  • Lemon Twist, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
  3. Strain into a chilled Champagne flute.
  4. Top with Champagne.
  5. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Today, the French 75 is enjoyed globally, a testament to MacElhone's ingenuity and the American Bar's place as a pivotal gathering point during a turbulent period in history. Its surprising recent origins serve as a reminder that even the most beloved cocktails can have remarkably humble beginnings, born out of a specific moment, a particular patron's request, and a desire for something truly different.
