Top Shelf… My Favorite Cocktail, The French 75

Uncategorized

April 19, 2017

I cannot tell you how many times I have had to explain this drink to bartenders and servers… my love affair with this tasty, crisp, and sweet concoction has turned many of my friends into fans of this drink as well, so today I thought I would share it with you! And yes, it’s the perfect staple for spring and summer…

Afterall, I made it through Lent, 40 days to be exact, with zero alcohol and now I am most certainly celebrating–you only live once, right?!?!?!

Here’s the lineup of ingredients: 

Ready to make it for yourself?!?!
Combine gin, simple syrup and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into an iced champagne glass. Top with the champagne and stir gently… Serve and enjoy!!

I am also excited to announce that I’ve been selected to work with my friends at Drizly as a part of their Top Shelf Blogger Program… basically, I’ll be showcasing tasty drink recipes and brand programs with the best from the beverage industry and bringing them to you to enjoy, too. This is going to be FUN!
Let me know what you’d like to see more of in terms of cocktails and beverages this season… I’m all ears for sharing what you want to read about!

    that sounds so yummy!! I will defiantly have to pin and save this one to try.

  2. That sounds yummy! Do you know any good mocktail recipes for pregnant mamas? I need something to make it through summer. 🙂

  3. Sarah says:

    One of my favorite bars in Tulsa serves these in a Champagne flute with a sugared rim… SO GOOD

  4. The only place I've been able to get a really good one of these is in New Orleans! But I definitely might have to try making one on my own 🙂

  5. This is my favorite cocktail and I love when it's on the menu at a bar because I swear people don't know how to make it right! Cheers!
