The perfect rosé cocktail is a bubbly pink drink? Light and fruity: sparkling rosé, gin, lemon juice and rose raspberry simple syrup. The Pink 75 is a twist on the classic French 75 cocktail. Try this drink for brunch, a fancy date night drink, Valentine’s Day cocktail, or Mother’s Day brunch cocktail!

A French 75 is a cocktail based of gin, champagne, lemon juice, and sugar. Some bars will swap the gin for cognac. It is a classic cocktail dating back to at least the 19th century.

Initially the creator intended this cocktail to be served in a highball glass. The French 75 was actually a riff of the Tom Collin’s, swapping club soda for a bubbly champagne. Nowadays, this classic cocktail is often served in a champagne flute. It is almost always topped with a lemon peel twist!

For this French 75 variation, a Pink 75, you can serve with the classic lemon peel twist. You can also top with a raspberry or even strawberry.
