French 75
Ingredients
Method
- Grab a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. This will help to chill the ingredients and ensure that the finished drink is refreshing and crisp.
- Measure and pour 30ml of Tanqueray Gin into the shaker. This gin is known for its bold, juniper-forward flavour profile, which makes it the perfect base for this cocktail.
- Add 20ml of freshly squeezed lime juice to the shaker, along with 20ml of simple syrup for sweetness.
- Close the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds until the contents are well chilled and well combined. Using a cocktail strainer, strain the mixture into a chilled champagne flute. The strainer will help to catch any small bits of ice or pulp that might be left in the shaker, giving you a smooth, refined drink.
- Top up the drink with sparkling wine, filling the flute almost to the top. The effervescence of the wine will add a lightness and bubbly texture to the drink.
- Take a lemon peel and twist it over the drink to release its oils, then garnish the drink with the peel. This will give the drink a bright, citrusy aroma and a pop of colour.
