Pro Tips

💣 Named for Artillery

The drink packs such a punch it was named after the French 75mm field gun used in WWI. First served at Harry's New York Bar in Paris.

🍾 Champagne Quality

You don't need Dom Pérignon, but avoid the cheapest fizz. A decent Crémant, Cava, or Prosecco works well. The gin does the heavy lifting.
