Method

  1. 1

    Chill a Champagne flute in the freezer or with ice water while you mix the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Add gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup into a shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled, about 8–10 seconds.

  3. 3

    Double-strain the mixture into the chilled Champagne flute to remove ice shards and pulp.

  4. 4

    Top gently with chilled Champagne, pouring slowly to preserve the bubbles and avoid overflow.

  5. 5

    Express the oils from a long lemon twist over the surface, rim the glass with the twist, and drop it in as garnish.

The French 75 combines gin, lemon, sugar, and dry sparkling wine in a crisp celebratory cocktail.
