Pink French 75
🥃0
A pink twist on the 1915 classic — gin, lemon and sugar topped with rosé sparkling wine instead of brut champagne. Brighter, fruitier and the perfect aperitif for a summer wedding or terrasse afternoon.
The original French 75 was created at Harry's New York Bar in Paris during World War I (1915), named after the French 75 mm field gun for its kick. The rosé variant emerged in the 2010s as wedding bars looked for visually pinker takes on the classic — some prefer Crémant Rosé, others Cava Rosado or a young Spanish rosé Cava. The lemon-and-gin base is identical to the original; only the topper changes.
