The name French 75 comes from the French’s weapon of choice during WWI, the 75-millimeter Howitzer field gun. Today, the drink is mixed with gin, syrup, champagne and lime. The name comes from the fast-firing taste similar to when the weapon strikes. Lucky for you, after just a few sips you’ll likely just be hit by a state of bliss with this Frozen French 75.
My friend Paul created a frozen and Flexible Flip of the famous drink that’ll hit the spot. It’s super simple and you probably already have all of the ingredients in your home bar! Check Paul out on Instagram for more delicious creations.
