French 75

Today I made a delightful French 75 cocktail, using a few different recipes to concoct my own!



In a pitcher, I mixed:
 2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
 1 1/2  cup of simple syrup
 4 cups of dry gin

I refrigerated this mixture and before serving, I poured about 1/3 of a glass full of the mixture and then topped off the glass 2/3 of the way with spumante. The recipe really called for champers, but the spumante (or prosecco) does the trick nicely!

This makes about 8 servings.

Hendrick's Gin Garibaldi Sbagliato
1 part Hendrick's Gin
1 part Campari
2 parts Orange Juice
Top with Champagne

Combine all ingredients in a frozen or chilled highball glass with no ice. Garnish with an orange wedge.
