Name: French 125 (French '75' with cognac)
Prep time: 2 min
Total time: 2 min
Ingredients: 15 ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed); 1 1/2 Powdered sugar (ground in mortar and pestle) (or use 5ml of 2:1 sugar syrup per spoon); 45 ml Cognac (brandy); 75 ml Champagne Brut

Cognac makes for a heavier cocktail than a French 75 made with gin, yet this cocktail remains enlivening, refreshing and quaffable.The use of powdered sugar instead of sugar syrup adds an attractive sherbet note to this cocktail. However, the drink also works well with sugar syrup – use ¼oz/7.5ml sugar syrup in place of the 1½ spoons of powdered sugar.
