The French 75 is named after the fast-firing 75 millimeter field gun that was utilized by the French during World War One. Consisting of gin, fresh lemon juice, sugar and Champagne, the drink is a lot friendlier than the name implies!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp sugar syrup

  • 50ml Hebden Bridge Signature Dry Gin

  • Champagne

  • ice

  • lemon zest

Method

  • STEP 1

    Pour the lemon juice, sugar syrup and gin into a cocktail shaker then fill up with ice.

  • STEP 2

    Shake well then strain into a champagne flute. Top with a little champagne, leave to settle then fill up with more champagne. Drop in a fresh raspberry or garnish with a strip of lemon zest if you like.
