Cocktail Hour :: French 75 Blueberry Fizz
Need a summer cocktail refreshment? Champagne and gin is the perfect marriage that gave birth to the French 75. Actually, it was allegedly created by a World War I French-American fighter pilot who found champagne a little lacking. He eventually created a powerful drink that felt like being on the receiving end of a French 75mm — hence the name. A simple concoction with less than 5 ingredients, the redux of the French 75. This is truly a summer drink to prepare for your next party or gathering.
