French 75 | The Kitchn

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using a channel knife or vegetable peeler, peel a long strip of peel from 1 medium lemon. Juice the lemon until you have 3/4 ounce.
2. Place the lemon juice, 1 1/2 ounces gin, and 3/4 ounce simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker halfway with ice, seal, and shake until the outside of the shaker is very frosty, about 20 seconds.
3. Pour through a strainer into a Champagne flute. Slowly pour in 2 ounces chilled dry sparkling wine. Hold the lemon peel over the cocktail and twist the peel to express the oils onto the surface of the drink. Run the outside of the peel over the rim of the flute, then drop the peel into the cocktail.
