The Pink French 77 is a twist on the classic French 75 that was created in 1915 at the New York Bar in Paris. The difference is the elderflower liqueur, which provides a subtle floral note that is a perfect complement to the citrus and pairs impeccably well with Champagne. Cheers!

My husband and I had this cocktail with our belated Valentine’s Day dinner last night. It was delicious! I wouldn’t change a thing! And be sure to use fresh lemon juice. It really makes a difference. Thanks, GZ!
Wow! So delicious. Love the French 75 but get tired of them after a while. This was a great riff on the classic!
Refreshing and delicious drink! Used Bombay Sapphire Murcian Lemon Gin… what we had on hand. We think it elevated the citrus flavor. The elderflower liquor added that extra twist. This drink recipe is a keeper.
