This recipe, which is simple to prepare, calls for lemon juice, gin, and a simple sugar syrup. But you can also experiment by trying different combinations. You could use other spirits instead, like honey, raspberry, or pear.
The gin in this variation of the classic French 75 adds a floral note that complements the sweetness from the simple syrup. To make the cocktail even more floral add a lemon zest and some fresh rosemary.
If you prefer, you can substitute dry Champagne with prosecco to make the French 75 fizz more delicately. To do this, use a less sugar syrup to allow the full flavor of the Champagne to shine through.
