I have met a lot of women in the US who love their classic French 75, when I tried this cocktail it was an absolute must for me to share with all of you. So if you are a French 75 drinker, let me know your thoughts!
For this twist on a classic French 75, we used the candied citrus as a garnish and the leftover simple syrup from cooking them in the drink itself.
Candied Lemon Slices
Candied lemon slices are easy to make and elevate any citrus-based cocktail. They’re also perfect for garnishing desserts.
To make the candied lemon slices, combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. When the sugar has dissolved, add the lemon slices and cook at a gentle simmer for 1 hour. Remove to a cooling rack-lined baking sheet to cool.
Ingredients for the candied Meyer Lemon slices:
-
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
2 organic meyer lemons, washed, thinly sliced, and seeds removed

1. To make the cocktail, combine vodka, meyer lemon juice, and simple syrup in a champagne flute or similar.
2. Stir to combine the ingredients, then top off with sparkling wine.
3. Garnish with a couple of candied meyer lemon slices.
Ingredients for the candied Meyer Lemon slices:
