This lavender French 75 cocktail is a new favorite of ours. Adding lavender to the classic drink adds delightfully soft floral notes, a perfect way to get into the spirit of celebrating in style, no matter the occasion.
This cocktail dates back to World War 1, being created in 1915 at a bar in Paris, and was named after the powerful French 75 mm field gun. Talk about a drink that has a lot to live up to!
