ABOUT

While both the name and recipe have changed over the years - the gin vs. cognac debate has been going on for a straight up century - we like to keep it old school with fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, sparkling wine and…let’s go with…gin.

DETAILS

This drink is most likely named after the popular French 75mm Field Gun from World War I. Given the boozy nature, it was said this drink could knock you on your derriere just like the namesake gun and given our many experiences with the sneaky strength of this cocktail, a better name would be hard to coin. Today’s variations include subbing the gin with cognac, bourbon, vodka or even tequila. However you load it, this one packs a punch.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. POUR gin, lemon juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice

  2. SHAKE vigorously for 15-20 seconds

  3. STRAIN into a chilled champagne flute

  4. TOP with sparkling wine

  5. GARNISH with a lemon twist
