French 75

This is a nice before dinner cocktail. It’s a little sweet, so I typically can only drink one.

1 oz gin

1/2 oz fresh lemon juice

1/2 oz simple syrup (heat 1 part sugar with 1 part water until sugar is dissolved, chill in the fridge for up to 1 month)

2 oz champagne

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice; combine gin, lemon juice and simple syrup. Shake and strain into a champagne flute or coupe glass.

Top with 2 ounces of champagne and garnish with a lemon twist.

Cheers!
