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.

Like the French 76, the French 77, is a variation of the French 75. Unlike the French 76, however, the drink had to be rebalanced because it substitutes a Liquor for a Liqueur. There is no Simple Syrup in this because sweetness comes from the Elderflower Liqueur.

The Vermosa is a Mimosa, but with Apple Cider. It gets its name from the State of Vermont, because Vermont is well known for their Apple Cider. An Apple Crisp is a version of this drink spiked with Applejack. In a lot of the world, Cider refers to an alcoholic beverage, but in the U.S. it is non-alcoholic. It doesn’t matter what you use. If you want a bit more of a punch, use the alcoholic kind.
