How to Make a French 75

In case you're looking for a holiday cocktail idea, we perfected the French 75. A French 75 is a cocktail made with gin, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice and Champagne. While we'd ideally love to top nearly anything with Champagne, this cocktail really works with any dry sparkling wine. You just need it to smooth out the gin and add a bit of bubbly effervescence.
While French 75s pack a punch, they're dry, tangy and light. Watch out-they're as easy to drink as they are to make.
When we lived together after college, we threw an annual holiday party. The year we made these as the house cocktail was our favorite and certainly the most sloppy. If you want to dance on your own couch, this is the perfect drink for you.

While they're typically served in a champagne flute, you can make them in whatever: a wine glass, a mug, your hand, or these weird-ass-glasses that Dak bought at a vintage store.
If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can put all of the ingredients in a jar and shake it that way or just add ice-whatever.
