From the bartender’s corner – French 75 with Malfy Gin
This drink usually has London Dry gin, sugar, lemon juice and champagne. However since Malfy Gin is overwhelming with lemon nose and flavor, I skipped the lemon juice. The make it an all Italian affair, I even went with a champagne from Italy (Martini and Rossi). Here is the irony though – the name of the drink is French 75!!! To do some justice to the “French” part of the name, I served it in a Dom Perignon flute.
The nose id predominantly lemon (the lemon peel garnish accentuates that). The juniper and botanicals come thru very late and the flavor of lemon is quite subdued by the champagne and the syrup. Very enjoyable drink.
I would just sit and look at this drink… it’s so pretty…
Very tasty too Vicky. One of these days, you need to come over to Atlanta!!!
Will try ..Sounds awesome.
This looks delectable…but I’ll just admire from afar…
2 more years?
Wow. I want to try this.
Sharmila liked it enough that I had to make another round…
That sounds my kind of drink.
Love
