How do you properly stir the Lavender French 75 to ensure the best flavor?

To properly stir the Lavender French 75, start by adding the gin, lemon juice, and lavender syrup into a mixing glass filled with ice.

What are some appropriate garnishes for the Lavender French 75?

The Lavender French 75, with its elegant appearance and refreshing taste, is perfect for celebrations like weddings, anniversaries, and brunches. Its sophisticated profile also makes it an excellent choice for cocktail hour or as a welcome drink at upscale events.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute the champagne in a Lavender French 75 with another type of sparkling wine?
