Although the French 75 is often associated with women, it is not a champagne cocktail. Those with a mild disposition should not drink this cocktail.
This cocktail recipe also calls for gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in addition to champagne.
Ever ponder the meaning behind French 75? The name of the drink is derived from the 75mm Howitzer field artillery that was used by both the French and the Americans during World War I.
Some people claim that the cocktail drink's kick is similar to being struck by an extremely accurate firearm.
