The Sky Wave 75
This is our take on the classic French 75, created in 1915 at the New York Bar in Paris—later Harry’s New York Bar—by barman Harry MacElhone. Sky Wave Gin complements the lemon juice perfectly, and adds a lingering spicy twist at the end – enough for us to justify changing the name!
You will need:
- 35 ml of Sky Wave Gin.
- 20 ml of lemon juice (fresh is best, use a little more if using a juicer).
- 10 ml of simple sugar syrup (such as Fruiss).
- 75 ml of your favourite fizz (we prefer Veuve Clicquot champagne!)
- Ice cubes or crushed ice.
Method:
- Chill a champagne flute with crushed ice or iced water.
- Half fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the Sky Wave Gin, lemon and sugar syrup, and shake vigorously.
- Empty out the champagne flute, and fine strain the contents of the shaker into the flute.
- Top up slowly with the champagne.
- Garnish with a long lemon twist if you wish.
