The French 75 (a.k.a. the 75 Cocktail or Soixante-Quinze), first emerged on the scene in 1915, courtesy of Harry MacElhone at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris and it’s been claimed that one sip hits harder than a 75mm French field gun.
Give it a local twist with GDC’s Manuka & Lemon Premium Gin, available in 375ml and 750ml flasks, and you’ve got a gin cocktail that packs some serious French firepower. Serve it in a Huski Champagne flute and you’ll feel fancy without breaking your budget.
