🥂 🍃 A Holiday Twist on a Classic: The French 75
Cannabis-infused French 75

The French 75 is a classic cocktail that dates back to the early 1900s. It's a sophisticated drink that is perfect for holiday parties or any other special occasion. But what exactly is in a French 75? And where did it get its name?
The French 75 is a refreshing and elegant cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with gin, champagne, lemon juice, and simple syrup. The origins of the drink are somewhat disputed, but it is believed to have been created sometime in the early 1900s.
One story claims that the cocktail was invented at the New York Bar in Paris (which later became Harry's New York Bar). According to this story, an American officer named Colonel Robert Ransom ordered the drink after being told by the barman that it was "like being shelled with the 75 mm gun."
Another story claims that the cocktail was created at the St. James Club in London. This version of the story says that the drink was created by barman Harry MacElhone as a way to celebrate the British victory at the Battle of Messines Ridge in World War I.
Regardless of its origin, the French 75 is a delicious and festive cocktail that is sure to please your guests. If you're looking for something a little different this holiday season, try this cannabis-infused non-alcoholic twist on a classic!
