The French 75, designed by Harry MacElhone of Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, was named after the French 75mm field gun used in WWI. With that warning in mind, this cocktail begins with a mix of Bombay Sapphire gin and Hennessy VS, lightened up with soothing chamomile and a float of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label. Don’t let the innocent lemon twist deceive you, this drink has power.
