About the French 75
The French 75 is a timeless cocktail that combines the boldness of gin with the effervescence of Champagne.
It was first created during World War I at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris and is named after the French 75mm field gun due to its strong, bubbly kick.
This cocktail has remained a popular choice for celebrations, thanks to its refreshing balance of citrus, sweetness, and sparkling Champagne.
