French 75


As French we love food, it is no surprising that we also enjoy drinks, especially cocktails. Here is one of the favorite French cocktail. It is bubbly very tasty and refreshing.
For the history, this cocktail has been around since before World War II. French soldiers have been drinking it for decades. It was created in 1915 in the Paris landmark, Harry’s Bar, by barman Harry MacElhone, and it is said to have such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm field gun.

A squeeze of lime
1 teaspoon fine sugar 
Champagne  or sparkling wine
Ice
Shaker 




Instructions :

Enjoy !!!!!! Drink responsibly!!
