El French 75 es un clásico contemporáneo de la IBA que combina ginebra, zumo de limón y azúcar agitados juntos, luego coronado con Champagne y servido en un vaso Collins con una rodaja de naranja y una cereza. La efervescente acidez de la bebida y la base botánica de la ginebra lo convirtieron en un favorito desde la Primera Guerra Mundial. Es uno de los cócteles más elegantes y duraderos del canon.
History & Origins
The French 75 was reportedly created during World War I and named after the French 75mm field gun, whose punch it was said to replicate. The earliest published recipe appeared in 'Here's How' by Judge Jr. in 1927. Some accounts attribute it to Harry MacElhone of Harry's New York Bar in Paris. It was recognized by the IBA as a Contemporary Classic.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: bright gin botanicals and lemon citrus with the toasty, yeasty effervescence of Champagne. Palate: tart and citrus-forward with juniper from the gin, a sweet counterpoint from the sugar, and the dry sparkling wine adding elegance and lift. Finish: crisp, dry, and refreshing with a long, lingering citrus and botanical fade.
Pro Tip
Shake the gin, lemon juice, and sugar vigorously with ice before adding the Champagne, which should always be poured gently into the glass after straining to preserve its carbonation.
