David’s Holiday Cocktail Recipe: The French 75 It’s a happy, celebratory time of year, and when I think “happy” and “celebration,” I think champagne. One of my favorite champagne cocktails is the French 75, a classic concoction. Here’s what you need and how to make it: • 1⁄2 oz Fresh lemon juice • 1⁄2 oz Simple syrup • 1 oz Gin (I like Plymouth or Fords) • 3 oz Champagne Add all the ingredients except the Champagne into a shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a Champagne flute. Top with the Champagne. Garnish with a lemon twist. If you don’t like gin, make a French 76, which is basically the same concoction, except instead of gin you use vodka. Happy Holidays from Ancel Glink’s Quorum Forum podcast!
