About our French 75 with Lemon Syrup

Also called simply a “Seventy-Quinze”, this cocktail became a classic after the publication of The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930), although its creation dates back further. It's a cocktail that packs a punch, like the French 75 mm guns used during the First World War to which it owes its name.
