I made this for my older brother after he did "classic" french 75s one night, and this is CLEARLY the better way to have them. It's so much more refreshing and delicious with this method.
i'm also just noticing that boothby has his french 75 as: 1/2 jigger gin 1/4 jigger calvados 1 spoon grenadine 1 spoon lemon served in a cocktail glass curious how this change may have come about four years after the savoy's first printing.
I love @jeffmorgen's work but American Horror Story - Coven ep: Protect the Coven brought me here. Fiona and Laveau both toasting their success with French 75's!
+Ginron i'd say it's more about proportion :) a tall glass can receive more champagne to the mix than a champagne flute, therefore altering the taste a bit. those are my 2 cents.
Ginron I never heard him once mention that flutes were emasculating, nor that he never tried it. He didn't understand what the attraction to the cocktail was until he found the original recipe, which uses a Collins glass. The method he may have originally been taught was probably shaking the champagne with the other ingredients, or some weird ratios which made it unbalanced. I found it ironic that the French 75 was served in a French restaurant, even though the cocktail has American roots.
TheShadow, he used 30cl gin and 60cl sparkling, that is exactly how much fits and goes (according to IBA/wiki recipe) into a flute. So not sure it was about proportions for him :)
Of course he tried it. He said he done about 1000 of them and never got it, because they did it in a champagne flute without ice. When he read the recipe later on he afterwards did the drink in a highballglas with crusched ice. Then he got it because he tasted it and compared it to the first version. So it was about the taste not the manhood
Am I the only one who smiled when he said "I'm not a history guy, talk to Robert Hess"?

this actually just blew my mind too... through all the cocktail books i've gone through, somehow i never noticed savoy's call for the tall glass.

The french 75 is one of my favorit cocktails!
I just returned from a trip to Harry's Bar in Paris. They add a drop of absinthe. Interesting.
I did this at new years night and it was good. I made this also with raspberry Syrup and that was also very nice
Also, French 75 = Tom Collins but with Champagne: Mind blown
This is great
Agreed!
Love these videos with Morgenthaler, keep them coming!
More episodes are on the way!
Jeffrey is still bartending at Clyde Common in Portland.
Thank you for watching!
I just gave this a shot. It's surprisingly tasty considering I'm usually iffy on champagne drinks!
Welcome back Jeffrey!
Please say that there is more Morgenthaler to come. Jeffrey didnt update his Blog for forever, i thought he stopped bartending or something
I love @jeffmorgen's work but American Horror Story - Coven ep: Protect the Coven brought me here. Fiona and Laveau both toasting their success with French 75's!
That's great, Dylan!
Thank you for watching!
Using a parisian shaker for a French 75, how apt! :D
This guy is Crazy!
I love those bleeps and man oh man do I love that Morganthaler man
Fuck yeah new Morgenthaler episodes!
Which champagne is used here?
eternallord,
Weird how sometimes the simplest things are the most difficult to figure out.
Thank you for watching!
I would have never figured that out on my own lol
Yeah.. BOOM!
The French 75 is one of my fave cocktails annnd......hi, you're cute.
Neat
Hey... Go Ducks!
fuck yeah. Measure the damn ingredients. "top with _____" has always been a perfect to ruin consistency.
Well if you know the kind of glass you’re using then if all your other measurements are correct it will topping it off will remain consistent
Why do you film yourself instead of filming yourself doing the f cocktail 🍸!
Stop saying LIKE LIKE LIKE....otherwise good
LIK LIKE LIKE job.
Its sad that you didn't try it simply because it was being served in a champagne flute, (too much for your manhood to handle)?
