210730 - THE BIG PROHIBITION COCKTAIL COUNTDOWN - No 4 - FRENCH 75
The cocktail is actually named after a rather intimidating gun that was used by the French during WWI – a fun fact to impress your friends with at your next cocktail party!
It’s a Tom Colins with champagne instead of carbonated water.
French 75 is a cocktail made from gin, Champagne, lemon juice, and sugar. It is also called a 75 Cocktail, or in French simply a Soixante Quinze (Seventy Five).
The drink dates to World War I, and an early form was created in 1915 at the New York Bar in Paris—later Harry's New York Bar—by barman Harry MacElhone. The combination was said to have such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm field gun.
3 cl gin
2 dashes simple syrup
1.5 cl lemon juice
6 cl Champagne
Combine gin, syrup, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled champagne glass. Top up with Champagne. Stir gently.
The French 75 was popularized in America at the Stork Club in New York. It appears in the movie Casablanca (1942) and is referenced twice in the John Wayne films A Man Betrayed (1941) and Jet Pilot (1957). In 2016, it appears in the ITV series, Mr. Selfridge, which is set in London in the 1910s and 1920s.
