Talimatlar
Gently warm 60g golden caster sugar in a pan with 30ml water and 1 tbsp allspice. Cook gently until the sugar has dissolved, then leave the mixture to cool. Strain through a sieve lined with a coffee filter (or a double layer of kitchen paper). Pour 60ml of the spiced syrup into a cocktail shaker along with 200ml rum and 90ml lime juice. Shake with ice and strain between six flute glasses. Top up with 600ml champagne and garnish each with an orange twist.
The Spice 75 is an elevated riff on the classic French 75, combining rum with allspice syrup, lime juice, and champagne, garnished with an orange spiral. The homemade allspice syrup — made by simmering allspice with sugar and water — adds a distinctive warm, spiced complexity absent from the original recipe. Served in a wine glass, it is a sophisticated party drink with Caribbean-inspired flavors.
History & Origins
The Spice 75 is a modern creation derived from the French 75, a classic cocktail made with gin or cognac, lemon juice, sugar, and champagne that dates to World War I France. The rum-and-allspice variation represents a creative adaptation that incorporates Caribbean flavors into the French 75's sparkling wine format. The origin of the Spice 75 is disputed, though it appears in contemporary cocktail recipe collections as a festive seasonal drink.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Warm allspice and spice with rum sweetness, bright lime citrus, and the delicate effervescence of champagne. Palate: Complex and layered — allspice syrup delivers a warm, clove-nutmeg-cinnamon character that complements the rum, while lime provides tartness and champagne adds a celebratory lift. Finish: Dry and sparkling with lingering spice and citrus.
Pro Tip
Make the allspice syrup in advance and allow it to cool completely before using to ensure the flavors fully infuse and the syrup integrates seamlessly into the drink.
