Festive French 75
Ingredients
2 oz (60 mL) gin
1 oz (30 mL) lemon juice, freshly squeezed
½ oz (15 mL) simple syrup
Ice cubes
Chilled sparkling wine (Champagne or Prosecco)
Lemon peel twist
Directions
In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to chill the ingredients.
