@MarkGoodwin09 No, it means he's been fired. Number One, a cocktail is never gender specific (he says "Girlie" which is not very club like), otherwise your losing your guest as a bartender. Second, a cherry (especially that radioactive!) is never in a French 75, you are celebrating the citrus against the matured champagne, a cherry is useless! Therefore a lemon twist brings the sweet oils out... and thirdly, the cocktail should be cooled and softened with a shake then poured up with bubbles.
Funny that he would call this drink girly. This drink was named after the French 75mm field gun. Legend is that it was also a popular drink with the French generals. Hmm.
TristansVid is entirely right, the three ingredients should be shaken together first, before going into the flute, and then top with champagne, and it most definitely needs a lemon twist not a sweet cherry.
@ChrisKonstantinidis yeah. the only problem is, that it doesnt work. we made an experiment with some people who claim that they can measure "free pouring", most of which are "pros". the results were.. how do i put this delicatly?.. crap. in a series of a hundered tries, the average deviation was above 25%. when there was a sour mix involved, it was always palatable. therefore i stick with the absolute every realy good bar tender has told me: always. measure. your. ingredients.
he's right about it being a girlie drink. girl's GO NUTS for this drink! only problem is it's kind of expensive. usually over 10 bucks. you'd want to be at a nice place though, for the quality champagne. your local dive would probably want to use some cheapass sparkling wine like Andre.
Actually most respected bartenders (eg , if not mistaken, Robert Hess from youtube small screen network) claims it was created with brandy first and only then with gin. As gin was not present/popular and Cognac was in France at that time). And only later (by popular bar, maybe Savoy or whatever) it was made and popularized as gin cocktail. So point me out to your sources that claim otherwise.
If he is bartender at Soho House, then I'd be concerned about getting a cocktail at that bar. Totally wrong method. Does she ever stop saying classy? Kind of puts me off all this pretension!
She talks to much. He doesn't know what he's doing. A good bartender always measures ingredients. The base of this drink needs to be shaken with ice. A marascino cherry is not a proper garnish for a French 75.
all wrong indeed, must be a crappy hotel! Its with Cognac, not with Gin; it should be shaken (not the champagne offcourse) and the garnish only a lemon peel.

Agree on garnish of lemon peel, but everywhere I've ever seen it has been gin.
you're quite flexible aren't you? i like that.
this woman is the heights!!
These videos 😂 oh god

@dirtyvadah Well, actually you don't have to, the fizz of the champagne mixes all the different components together...
amazing
gin lemon juice and sugar syrup must be shaked with ice

Where's the St. Germaine??
lack of knowledge; and it's ignorance is a disgrace to this profession.
@GravitySoar It's sex on the beach, not in the beach!
@sweetheartangel8 You're chiming in kind of late here babes but thanks for the info all the same
And to avoid any bullshit replies, the cognac supposed recipe was only after some 20 years after the creator, who used gin created the fucking thing.

That's no girly drink that drink will screw you up good ...
@TristansVid You obviously know your shit, man! Haha
He made it all wrong; gin lemon juice simple syrup shaken with ice; strain into flute; top with champagne; garnish w twist of lemon peel. ta-da!
I disdain the notion of gender stereotyping alcoholic beverages. :-(
Girl drink? I watched a show when they said that it was a little man-drink...?
