This classic cocktail made its way to our site this weekend because we were looking for a cocktail that combined French and Croatian spirits. Sunday was the World Cup 2018 and we needed something good! We did some research and decided the French 75 with a twist of Croatian Plum Brandy was the way to go(oooooaaalll). France won 4 to 2, and it was an incredible match. We originally started watching the World Cup while traveling in Portugal and it was really fun to see the final match at home over breakfast!
For our World Cup Cocktail we mixed up the following:
- 1.5oz Gin
- .5oz Plum Brandy
- 1tsp White Sugar
- 1oz Lemon Juice
- Top off with Champagne
- Garnish with lemon rind
Combine your Gin, Brandy and Lemon Juice in a mason jar with ice. Stir, and strain into your coup glass. Top with Champagne and garnish with lemon.
It's pretty similar to the original French 75, so we wanted to include the real recipe on the site too.

Directions
