Ep. 17: OMF(75)G - The French 75 meets a spicy friend

Quite possibly one of the best drinks ever invented meets Jules and her spicy friend Ancho Chili liqueur. Don’t let the glass fool you, this drink has some kick… and if you stick around for the history behind the drink, you’ll learn how this seemingly innocent cocktail earned its name. 

How to make the French 75

1. Chill your flute glass in the freezer
2. Make your simple syrup: bring 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a boil and let cool to room temperature
3. Squeeze your lemons because you want FRESH lemon juice: 1 lemon per drink should do the trick

(Don’t forget to peel your garnish from the lemon first!)

1. In the big side of your 28oz/18oz Boston shaker add:
2. 1.5oz Plymouth Gin
3. .75 lemon juice
4. .5 simple syrup
5. In the small side of your 28oz/18oz Boston Shaker add
6. Ice - fill it up about ¾ of the way
7. SHAKE IT LIKE YOU’RE MAD AT IT
8. Double strain (hawthorn strainer + mesh strainer) into your flute glass
9. Top off your flute glass with Brut Champagne (I used Bollinger - you don’t have to, just make sure it’s not to “lemony” and my god don’t use Prosecco 
10. Garnish with a lemon twist
