We publish whisky reviews and cocktail recipes. The site is focused on the brown spirits: whisky, rum, cognac, armagnac, etc. but gin definitely is the superior (versatile) base spirit for cocktails.
The French 75 has rapidly become a staple drink at brunch, and in our opinion, it’s a much more delicious day drink than the mimosa. MacElhone was quite the inventor and he is credited with having created everything from the Boulevardier, the Bloody Mary, the sidecar, and the French 75 – an early form of which was supposedly first poured at the bar in 1915. Charles Dickens apparently poured his guests a cocktail consisting of “gin, champagne, sugar, citrus and ice” long before in Boston. Though smaller and more compact than the German guns of its day, canon de 75 modèle 1897, or the French 75, packed a tremendous punch, like the cocktail.
