When I’m out on the town, one of my favourite drinks to order is an Elderflower French 75. If you haven’t had one before and are a fan of bubbly, you’ll love it! It’s a sweet gin cocktail made with fresh-squeezed lemon juice and elderflower liqueur, topped with bubbles.
So when my bestie Alex (from Alex and Tribe) and I were chatting about teaming up to produce fun cocktail recipes this summer, I knew the Elderflower French 75 would be a great way to start. Plus, if I’m always ordering it out at restaurants, why not perfect it at home!
This year I even whipped it up to celebrate over the Christmas season!
Let’s check out the recipe:
Elderflower French 75
Yields 2 cocktails
You’ll need:
- 2 ounces gin
- 2 ounces elderflower liqueur
- 2 ounces fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- Prosecco or Champagne to top, approximately 6 ounces
Directions:
Mix gin, elderflower liqueur and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. Pour into a Champagne flute or coupe and top with chilled prosecco.
Full disclosure: we enjoy a spirit-forward beverage. If you prefer a milder drink, cut the gin and elderflower liqueur in half and top with extra prosecco.
