Cocktails: French 75

[thegreatcomposer]

I disdain the notion of gender stereotyping alcoholic beverages. :-(

[cciemail]

he's right about it being a girlie drink. girl's GO NUTS for this drink! only problem is it's kind of expensive. usually over 10 bucks. you'd want to be at a nice place though, for the quality champagne. your local dive would probably want to use some cheapass sparkling wine like Andre.

[ruifcc]

i think that this rubbish barman just get there because she want fuck him, he is very weak barman, just have a italian look, rank is 4/100, reading 5 minutes before the recipe, he is a good one hfhbshbf

[Marc82193]

This isn't how you make it

[TristansVid]

If he is bartender at Soho House, then I'd be concerned about getting a cocktail at that bar. Totally wrong method.

Does she ever stop saying classy? Kind of puts me off all this pretension!

[MarkGoodwin09]

@TristansVid if he's the bartender at soho house it means you're doing it wrong dude

[TristansVid]

@MarkGoodwin09 No, it means he's been fired. Number One, a cocktail is never gender specific (he says "Girlie" which is not very club like), otherwise your losing your guest as a bartender. Second, a cherry (especially that radioactive!) is never in a French 75, you are celebrating the citrus against the matured champagne, a cherry is useless! Therefore a lemon twist brings the sweet oils out... and thirdly, the cocktail should be cooled and softened with a shake then poured up with bubbles.

[MarkGoodwin09]

@TristansVid You obviously know your shit, man! Haha

[SuperC888]

He made it all wrong; gin lemon juice simple syrup shaken with ice; strain into flute; top with champagne; garnish w twist of lemon peel. ta-da!

[alphatier65]

i bet this guy is a freakin hobo who gets a gallon of booze for putting 5 pounds of hairgel on his head and talk with an italian accent

[sunbeamsniagara]

the cocktail  looks good but the bartender looks even better! LOL

[TheHerrGrau]

She talks to much. He doesn't know what he's doing.

A good bartender always measures ingredients. The base of this drink needs to be shaken with ice. A marascino cherry is not a proper garnish for a French 75.

[2119jj]

@TheHerrGrau true...also when pouring try putting the flute on a flat surface!

[ChrisKonstantinidis]

If you know "Free Pouring" it's very easy to measure without jigger.

[TheHerrGrau]

@ChrisKonstantinidis yeah. the only problem is, that it doesnt work. we made an experiment with some people who claim that they can measure "free pouring", most of which are "pros". the results were.. how do i put this delicatly?.. crap. in a series of a hundered tries, the average deviation was above 25%. when there was a sour mix involved, it was always palatable. therefore i stick with the absolute every realy good bar tender has told me: always. measure. your. ingredients.

amazing

Shallow, shallow Ignorati! And that cherry is an abomination. Two 75s would put both of them under the table.

[donjuandonjuan]

That's no girly drink that drink will screw you up good ...

[patek5115]

Try this: 3 parts gin, one part champagne, a bit of lemon juice, and a teaspoon of powdered sugar. Put gin, lemon juice and powdered sugar in shaker with ice, shake vigorously, strain into martini glass, top with champagne and stir gently. Garnish with lemon peel or a tiny slice of lemon. Certainly not a "girly" drink.

[Reak55]

Haha she wants to do Rafaelli so hard, on the bar right on!

[dirtyvadah]

girly drink my ass. and you're supposed to shake it then top it with champagne dego ass hole

[ToxicAsphyxiation]

@dirtyvadah Well, actually you don't have to, the fizz of the champagne mixes all the different components together...

[thekhan4u]
