Cocktail Colin says:
The Gooseberry and Elderflower French 75 sparkles with a bright, effervescent charm. The tartness of fresh gooseberries and zesty lemon juice is beautifully balanced by the floral notes of elderflower syrup, while the dry gin and bubbly champagne provide a crisp, elegant finish.
