Make an Elegant French 75 Cocktail

The origins of the French 75 date back to World War I in France. The drink is actually named after a powerful field gun used by the French during World War I. {strange, but true!} The legend also supposes that perhaps the drink was first created in the New York Bar in Paris, in 1915. Here's my spin on this French classic, I use these genius Lemon infused sugar cubes! No making sugar syrup, no pouring through a strainer. no muss, no fuss. Sugar syrup is easy to make, but when I just want a quick cocktail for me and a BFF, I usually don't have any handy. These cubes are so easy! Make an Elegant French 75 Cocktail

Elegant French 75 Champagne Cocktail Recipe

Makes 1 Cocktail INGREDIENTS:

1 oz Gin
2-3 oz Champagne
1 tsp Lemon juice {if you want a tart cocktail}
1 LUXE champagne sugar cube

DIRECTIONS:

Make sure to chill your champagne until cold.
Place sugar cube in an antique champagne coupe or other glass and pour in gin and lemon juice.
Add in extra lemon juice if you love a tart taste like I do!
Stir with a spoon to dissolve the cube a little then top with bubbly.

*Let the drink rest for a few minutes so the sugar cube starts to dissolve. Gently stir again. Add a lemon rind {in a curl if you can do that}for garnish and enjoy! You can add an extra touch of flavor and awesomeness by adding a dash of Cointreau too. Cocktails in summer

The French 75 is my signature cocktail. Also the French Martini. I have not used the sugar cubes but will order immediately. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
