While doing some research years ago, we also came across Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s thesis on the French 75. He suggested it essentially is a Tom Collins, but with sparkling wine, instead of sparkling water. The simplicity of this explanation felt revelatory. It also means the drink can — and maybe should — be served on the rocks. This has become Jerry’s preferred French 75.
Whichever one you choose, we hope it brings your New Year’s celebrations much joy.

Note: To make simple syrup, heat ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup water in a small pan, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves. You will not need this entire amount of syrup for these cocktails.
