Hey ya’ll! I wanted to share a super simple cocktail recipe with you that’s easy to make and sure to put a little pep in your step! 😉 A sparking gin cocktail, with a little kick. Think of it as a boujie spiked lemonade! It’s perfect for this upcoming warm weather and any occasion worth celebrating!
Gin is one of my favorite liquors to use and so I’ve been having fun making and remixing drinks to share with y’all in case you also enjoy sipping on a little cocktail here and there! Cocktails and Confections…I think I should start a new series of things I like making for y’all to try! 😉
With all recipes, I think this one is easy to customize and play around with ratios. I like a little more gin and a little less sweet, but either way, make it yours to enjoy.
What’s your favorite liquor to use? I’d love to make some more drinks for y’all to try! Let me know I’ll start mixing them up! 😉
Can’t wait to hear what y’all think! Leave me a comment if you make the recipe, I’d love to know! Enjoy the weekend friends! XO!
Classic French 75
Ingredients
- .5 oz Simple Syrup
- .75 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 2 oz Dry Gin
- 2 oz Champagne
- 1 Lemon Twist
Instructions
- Simple syrup: Combine ½ cup sugar with a ½ cup water and bring to just under a boil. Stir until completely disolved and let cool. Store in fridge.Note: This cocktail is best served cold so I recommend making sure Champagne has been chilled prior to uncorking.Combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup (more or less depending on flavor preference) in a cocktail shaker. Fill shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously until outside of shaker is very cold, about 20 seconds.Strain the cocktail and top with Champagne; garnish with lemon twist. Voila!
