NYE 2020 was kicked off in weird COVID-era style by a couple of French 75 cocktails, which most definitely packed a punch. Created in the 1920’s and named after a WW1 french field gun (!) this is a remarkably refreshing drink for something so boozy, and led to a very giggly Zoom call with some wonderful friends. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2021!
Ingredients
Per person:
50ml gin
15ml lemon juice
5ml sugar syrup
Champagne/Prosecco
Method
- Fling the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice.
- Wrap in a tea towel and shake like crazy, then strain into a flute or coupe glass and top up with the fizz of your choice.
- Make it really flash by then peeling a strip of lemon zest and twisting it into the glass for extra zing. I’d run out of lemons at this point, so couldn’t do that this time.

Feel like I might have to try one this evening!
