A french 75 cocktail is a drink made from traditionally gin champagne lemon and sugar. 3 tablespoons simple syrup. Pour gin simple syrup and lemon juice into shaker. Add ice to shaker.
Whilst the french 75 is a gin based classic the nicola 7 is a variant on the nicola 6 using gin instead of vodka to bring out the berry flavours. Divide shaker contents into champagne flutes. I put my own little twist on this french 75 recipe and used vodka instead. Cherry and lemon peel spiral to garnish.
Two 3 inch strips of lemon zest. 2 ounces fresh squeezed lemon juice 1 2 lemons 2 ounces gin. Top with prosecco and serve. I always use prosecco since it s much cheaper than champagne and i can t taste the difference anyway.
