Pink French 75 with Rose Syrup: The Perfect Champagne Gin Cocktail Recipe

Elevate your next celebration with our stunning Pink French 75 recipe. This elegant champagne gin cocktail gets a rosy twist with the delicate flavor of rose syrup, making it as beautiful as it is delicious. Our simplified version, using El Guapo™'s Lemon and Rose Cordials, is a perfect, easy-to-make libation for any occasion, from brunch to a special party. Named after the rapid-fire machine gun used by the French during WWI and first served in 1915 at Harry’s New York Bar, this classic cocktail is now even more palatable and we think, even prettier.

Our Pink French 75 with Rose Syrup

This pink french 75 rose syrup champagne gin cocktail yields one serving and is a fantastic way to impress your guests with minimal effort. Using our cordials instead of fresh lemon juice and simple syrup makes this cocktail easy to have on hand. We also like the effect of a cocktail cherry in the glass rather than the ubiquitous lemon twist garnish. Making pitchers at a time and pouring into cherry studded glasses makes for impressive and easy entertaining!

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a classic French 75 and a pink French 75?

A classic French 75 is a simple mix of gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and champagne. This pink French 75 recipe gets its beautiful color and sweet, floral taste from the addition of rose syrup, specifically our El Guapo™ Rose Cordial.

Can I use other types of champagne or sparkling wine?

Yes, while we recommend rosé champagne for this champagne gin cocktail, you can certainly use Prosecco, Cava, or any other dry sparkling wine you prefer. The key is to find a bubbly that complements the delicate flavors of gin and rose.

Where does the rose syrup flavor come from?

In this recipe, the beautiful flavor of rose syrup comes from our El Guapo™ Rose Cordial. This product combines the essence of rose with a sweet base, making it a convenient and delicious way to add a floral note to your cocktails without the need for a separate syrup.
