Named after the 75mm field gun used by the French army in WWI — the drink's kick supposedly had a similar impact. A proper French 75 is gin-based (not cognac, despite common menu confusion), shaken with lemon and simple syrup, then topped with Champagne in a flute. It's elegant, celebratory, and dangerously easy to drink. A floral gin like Tanqueray No. Ten or Hendrick's works beautifully here.
Created by Douglas Ankrah at the Townhouse Bar in London in 2002, the Porn Star Martini is playful, tropical, and undeniably delicious. Vodka, passion fruit liqueur, fresh passion fruit puree, a touch of vanilla, with a separate shot of Champagne served alongside. The Champagne is functional — sip it between sips of the main drink to cleanse the palate and amplify the tropical sweetness. Use a clean, neutral vodka so the passion fruit can shine.
