The French 75 is named after a field gun from World War 1. It is thought to have been originally created in the 1920’s, but some believe it was created in 1915 at a bar in Paris, France. It has since inspired a couple of spin-off drinks in the French 76, which uses Vodka, and the French 77, which uses Elderflower Liqueur. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.
