Wanna know alittle history behind the drink?
It is believed that the drink was created in 1915 in Paris at Harry's New York Bar (I know a New York Bar in Paris? Go figure!). The combination of gin, lemon juice, and champagne was said to pack a punch like the powerful French 75mm field gun. It was from this comparsion the name French 75 was born.
