The French 75

Try this take on the mimosa

If you're a mimosa drinker, you may love the French 75 cocktail. It's quite similar but it's also got a tasty twist! A mixture of gin, sugar, lemon juice and champagne, it's on the stronger side, making it the perfect choice if you're looking to really unwind at brunch! The drink also has an elegant history of being created in Paris during World War I. The kick in the beverage was said to be akin to being hit by a French 75mm field gun, hence the name.

The beverage is also pretty similar to a Tom Collins, which is pretty much the same thing except with the Champagne being replaced with plain water.

Have you ever enjoyed a French 75 drink? How did you like it?
