A vibrant variation of the French 75 has a bit of raspberry to propel the fruit-forward effervescent. The tart sweetness is controlled by the cocktail maker, we suggest starting with the proportions below and adding syrup as needed.
1.25 oz. NOLET’S Silver Gin
0.75 oz. Lemon Juice
0.5 oz. Raspberry Simple Syrup
3 Raspberries
Champagne or Sparkling Wine
Pour NOLET’S Silver, lemon juice and raspberry syrup into a mixing glass with ice. Shake well. Strain into a Champagne flute. Carefully top with Champagne and garnish with a raspberry skewer.
Raspberry Simple Syrup:
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Raspberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup Water
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and raspberries break down. Cool and refrigerate before using. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
