Well, here we are at chapter 55! It's so hard to believe, but I am celebrating my 55th birthday this weekend and am ever so grateful to see another year. With that, every year for my birthday, I select a specialty cocktail for the occasion. This year's selection is a French 76. I'm sure that you've heard of the French 75 cocktail, well, I like to say that the French 76 is it's cousin (they are very similar, just vodka vs. gin).
This drink features some of my favorites... vodka, champagne and lemon!
See this simple recipe below.
