WWI doughboys bivouacked in Champagne, France created this cocktail. The French 75 is American immodesty applied with success to a few ingredients on-hand. Do not wait for Bastille Day, July 14th , to try this sapid brew.
Ingredients:
Champagne
Cognac
Sugar cubes
Place a sugar cube in the bottom of a champagne flute and add about 1½ ounces of cognac. Fill the glass with champagne and garnish it with a lemon twist.
In the movie Casablanca, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, the French 75 is a preferred beverage of Rick’s.
