A cocktail to toast your Medal winners!
Greetings Friend!
A simple yet elegant cocktail to sip while your team clinches that podium spot.
The French 75 is sometimes made with Gin but we're going full French in honor of the games this year. Cognac is the original spirit in this cocktail but you can use brandy from anywhere (or Gin). Same goes for the sparkling wine. Champagne is called for but you can use Cava or dry Prosecco, as well. Lets goooo!
1 oz. Cognac
1/4 oz. Simple Syrup
1/4 oz. Lemon Juice
4 oz. Champagne
Shake the Cognac, simple syrup and lemon juice with ice. Strain into a Champagne Flute or Coupe. Top with Champagne (pour slowly or it will foam over!). Garnish with a lemon twist.
You're a medal winner everyday!
Best,
Mike Mraz
