Make a true classic at home with an easy, celebration-ready bundle. Citadelle Gin delivers a crisp, dry base with bright juniper and citrus, and paired with Althea Marika Prosecco you get elegant bubbles that lift the drink into perfect aperitif territory. The result is a French 75 that’s clean, refreshing, and just the right amount of luxurious—ideal for toasts, brunch, and special occasions.
How to make a French 75 – step by step
Chill the glass: Place a champagne flute in the freezer briefly, or fill it with ice and water while you mix.
Measure into a shaker: Add 40 ml Citadelle Gin, 20 ml fresh lemon juice, and 10–15 ml simple syrup.
Add ice: Fill the shaker generously with ice.
Shake: Shake hard for 10–12 seconds until well chilled.
Strain: Discard the ice/water from the glass if you used it to chill, then strain the mix into the flute.
Top up: Top with Althea Marika Prosecco (about 60–100 ml, depending on taste and glass size).
Garnish: Finish with a lemon twist (or a thin lemon wheel).
How to make simple syrup
1:1 simple syrup (standard)
Measure equal parts sugar and water (e.g., 100 ml + 100 ml).
Warm gently in a saucepan, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves (no need to boil).
Let cool and pour into a clean bottle/jar.
Store in the fridge.
Tip: For a richer syrup, make 2:1 (2 parts sugar, 1 part water). You’ll usually need a bit less in the drink.
