The French and their drinks, mostly they are hearty cocktails! Think absinthe, Pastis, and also Champagne. The latter does have less alcohol, but the bubbles often rise to your head quickly. This French 75 champagne cocktail is also a strong drink! The name French 75 comes from the Howitser rifle that was widely used in the first World War. It used 75mm rounds and the "kick" the gun gave was described as drinking this cocktail. So drink in moderation…
French 75 champagne cocktail
If you choose to make a French 75 champagne cocktail, it is important to use real Champagne. Although this will increase the price of the drink, it is the only way to get the real taste and experience of this cocktail. Using Cava or Prosecco probably won't produce the same result.
Fortunately, you don't necessarily have to go for the most expensive bottle of Champagne, because we mix it with other ingredients. Just make sure you choose a Champagne that suits your taste and budget. A French 75 champagne cocktail is an elegant drink that is perfect for special occasions or enjoying a night out with friends.
Whether you choose a brut, extra brut or demi-sec champagne, the most important thing is that the taste matches your preference and budget. This way you can fully enjoy this refined drink, whether you are a connoisseur or just want to enjoy a delicious cocktail with friends.
As with so many drinks, the French 75 champagne cocktail now has many variations. This also applies to rosé Champagne and various other types of spirits. Like brandy instead of gin. Although it may seem crazy to mix Champagne with another drink, this is an extra classic. It has been donated since the 18th century.
