Tiki Tips: The French 75


"I am ze locksmith of love, no?"
Ah, the French 75! 

Try to find something with more class and sophistication (certainly not me at 1 AM on a Saturday!).

Pair this cocktail with a Yves Montand record and voila!  Paris in a pinch!

Muddle a sugar cube and fresh lemon juice in the bottom of a champagne glass.
Add gin and your favorite champagne.

Known in France as the "Soixante Quinze", this drink is lauded in the Savoy Cocktail Book as "hitting with remarkable precision".  If they mean my head against the wall, then correct they are!

XO,
-Tiki T.
