Elegant, refreshing and effortlessly celebratory, the French 77 is a beautiful twist on the classic French 75. With delicate floral notes and bright citrus flavours, this cocktail is perfect for special occasions or simply when you want to add a touch of sophistication to your evening.
At the heart of the French 77 is St‑Germain, a fragrant elderflower liqueur that brings a light, floral sweetness to the drink. This is balanced with fresh lemon juice, adding a crisp citrus brightness that keeps the cocktail lively and refreshing. A splash of Prosecco tops everything off, providing gentle bubbles and a clean, slightly fruity finish that lifts the entire drink.
The combination creates a cocktail that feels both refined and approachable – floral, sparkling, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart.
The French 77 is an ideal drink for celebrations, brunches, or gatherings with friends and family. Its light and refreshing character makes it easy to enjoy, while the sparkling finish adds that unmistakable sense of occasion. Whether you’re toasting a special moment or simply enjoying good company, the French 77 is a cocktail that always feels worth celebrating.
