French 75

French 75 at Citizen Wine Bar

French 75 at Citizen Wine Bar

Known for their leadership in crafting a true cocktail, Citizen Wine Bar constantly changes what is available by challenging their bartenders. The French 75, for example, is a drink whose long and rich history backs up its excellent flavor. Combining gin, apricot, fresh lemon juice and champagne, this cocktail first originated in 1915 at the New York Bar in Paris by bartender Harry MacElhone. It was rumored that the drink got its namesake for the powerful punch it delivered to its drinker…comparing the after effects of being shelled with powerful French 75mm field artillery at that time. Through the years, there has been constant discussion on whether or not this classic cocktail is made with gin or cognac. Citizen Wine Bar uses a gin to craft an incredibly refreshing cocktail that seemed to get stronger as the drink wore on. After a long week of work, the perfect combination of alcohol and class within this cocktail is the perfect way to cap off the night.
