This is a take-off on a drink called a French 75, which uses champagne. That has been replaced with beer in this recipe. The hops and carbonation in the beer worked well with the lemon juice to make a crisp drink with the right amount of sweetness. The cocktail had a slight beer nose but the ingredients made for a very pleasant flavor combination. Ingredients:
1 ounce gin |
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice |
1/2 ounce simple syrup (equal amt. of sugar and water, boiled and cooled) |
12 ounces heineken lager beer (may not use whole bottle) |
lemon twist (for garnish) |
Directions:
1. Shake the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup with ice and strain into a champagne flute.
2. Top off with the beer, give a gentle stir, and garnish with a lemon twist.
