Method
How to make French 75
Follow the 7 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Chill a Champagne flute and keep the Champagne refrigerated until the moment you need it.
- 02
Measure 30 ml gin, 15 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 15 ml sugar syrup into an empty shaker; do not add the Champagne.
- 03
Fill the shaker about two-thirds with medium or large ice cubes and close it tightly.
- 04
Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.
- 05
Strain into the chilled Champagne flute without serving ice, leaving enough room for the sparkling wine.
- 06
Slowly add 60 ml cold Champagne so the foam rises without overflowing the glass.
- 07
Give the drink one very gentle bottom-to-top stir and serve immediately; the IBA version has no garnish.
