simple syrup

champagne (about 1/2 glass)**

Place the gin, lemon juice, and syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake 15 seconds until cold. Strain the liquid into a champagne flute. (You can also pour these ingredients right into the flute, but the classic method is to use a cocktail shaker. If desired, shake up to 4 drinks at one time.)

Party variation for 8 servings

In a pitcher, stir together 1 1/2 cups gin, 3/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 cup simple syrup and refrigerate until serving (or stir with 1 handful of ice, then discard the ice). When serving, add 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) gin mixture to each glass with 3 ounces champagne.

Have made this twice and it is excellent.  It will be my go to French 75 recipe.

I'm not much of a gin drinker bought had a few Tom Collins I really liked,. Bought some Tanqueray to make it myself and did not like how floral it tasted .. so I tried this recipe and it was MUCH better!

Spirit and citrus are topped with a splash of Champagne in this easy-yet-elegant classic French 75 recipe. Simple enough to be enjoyed casually, it’s also a serious cocktail well-suited to celebrations, offering the drinker the best of both worlds.
