 This Grand French 75  is brought to you by a recipe from my brother in law, Chad. He makes THE BEST French 75s for any family event & I always look forward to them. Give this one a try & let us know what you think!

2oz Gin
1 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 Splenda Packet

Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker, then add ice and thoroughly shake it until it is very cold (ice should be melted into little slivers & barely visible when it’s cold enough).

Once it’s been shaken pour it in a champagne flute and then top with your fave champagne (about 4oz)

PSA : do not shake the champagne in the shaker, it will not end well!

Cheers!
