Notes
SPARKLING ROSÉ. While the classic calls for champagne, I used sparkling rosé for the lovely pink color. You can use any type of bubbly rosé for this recipe. If you want a traditional French 75, swap for champagne or prosecco.
GIN. You can substitute gin for cognac for a New Orleans French 75 variation.
LEMON JUICE. An absolute must to balance out the sweetness of the sparkling rosé and the simple syrup.
RASPBERRY SIMPLE SYRUP. For this Pink 75, I used a rose and raspberry simple syrup. Other options: use a traditional unflavored simple syrup or pre-made raspberry simple syrup. Note: if using a traditional unflavored simple syrup, the color will not be as bright.
