French 75
A half-teaspoon of a saltwater solution—and Angostura bitters—give exceptional balance to this slight tweak on the classic French 75. We liked the clean flavors that resulted from almost-equal proportions of gin and sparkling wine. To prepare the saltwater solution, combine half a teaspoon of Diamond Crystal kosher salt and 6 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon water.

Perfection!
This recipe opened a whole new door for me. I never thought of a cocktail as being so balanced in flavor. The salt and bitters elevate this cocktail to new heights.

Et Voila!
Thank you JM! This is my new go to recipe for this cocktail! Who would have thought salt solution and bitters?? But it works so well. I’m even experimenting with the salt solution in other cocktails (mostly rum) and loving it.
