Genius Annotation
The French 75 is named after the 75-mm M1897, a light, mobile canon used by the French field artillery in World War I. And the reason is pretty obvious. It is a very potent cocktail with the appearance of a much lighter drink.
The French 75 is a main stay of Arnaud’s French 75 Bar and has become a popular New Orleans cocktail.
