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.

This method ensures the flavors blend smoothly while maintaining the cocktail’s crispness.
What are some appropriate garnishes for the Lavender French 75?
A common garnish for the Lavender French 75 is a lemon twist, which complements its citrus notes. For a more decorative touch, consider adding a sprig of lavender or a few lavender buds to enhance the drink's aromatic profile and to visually tie in the lavender syrup ingredient.
What occasions are most suitable for serving 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.
Can I substitute the champagne in a Lavender French 75 with another type of sparkling wine?
Yes, the champagne in a Lavender French 75 can be substituted with other types of sparkling wine, such as Cava or Sekt, without significantly altering the cocktail's character. These alternatives can offer a similar effervescence and elegance, making them suitable substitutes for Champagne or prosecco.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Lavender French 75, and if so, what substitutes are used?
Yes, a non-alcoholic version of the Lavender French 75 can be made by substituting the gin with a non-alcoholic spirit and the Champagne/prosecco with a non-alcoholic sparkling wine or sparkling water. Lavender syrup and lemon juice remain the same, providing the characteristic flavor profile while making it inclusive for those avoiding alcohol.
