What is the French 75?
The French 75 is a gin-based cocktail made with premium gin and natural flavors featuring bright lemon, subtle cucumber undertones, and a finishing star anise note. Bottled at 18% ABV with no artificial flavors or preservatives. 375ml glass bottle, 3-5 servings per bottle.
How do you serve a French 75?
Two ways: pour over ice in a rocks glass for a refreshing aperitif, or pour 3-4 oz into a chilled champagne flute and top with sparkling wine for the traditional preparation. Garnish with a lemon twist either way. No shaking or mixing required — bottled at full strength.
What's the ABV of the French 75?
18% ABV (36 proof). This matches the strength of a freshly made French 75 served at a craft cocktail bar — significantly higher than typical canned RTD cocktails which range 4-8% ABV. Full-strength means real gin flavor, not a watered-down approximation.
Does the French 75 need refrigeration?
No refrigeration required. Brody's bottles are shelf-stable thanks to natural preservation through alcohol content and the absence of perishable ingredients. Chill before serving for best flavor, but the unopened bottle stores at room temperature for up to two years.
What does the French 75 taste like?
Bright lemon up front balanced by subtle cucumber undertones, finishing with a soft star anise note. A gin-forward cocktail that's crisp and aromatic — closer to the original 1915 recipe than most modern interpretations. Equally good over ice or topped with champagne.
