The French 75 cocktail celebrates the firepower of the WWI French 75-millimetre field gun. In recent decades, this has become a potent gin-based champagne...
...a great cocktail...and interestingly I was recently watching the classic Casablanca where it gets a mention! Unfortunately, the film does not expand on what the drink contained e.g. whether it was the Champagne based version...I assume it does as there any many product placements throughout of Cordon Rouge (Mumm)...quite surprising for 1942!!
