French 75

A classic that has always been part of our house and seems to be making a comeback to brunch menus. An effervescent drink that offers a boozier kick than the traditional Mimosa. If you are one that tends to be more bubbles than juice, a French 75 should be on your list. There has always been a debate if gin or cognac is the traditional recipe. We tend to mix it with gin and enjoy the cognac kick as well.
