Here's your assignment for this weekend, to prepare for the Summer of Gin (it's 80 degrees in Long Beach today, so I'm starting summer already):
Make a French 75. Despite its name (which comes from a piece of French artillery, so maybe I should say as its name suggests) this drink is not a knockout, but a great balance of flavors.

Posted by: JJ at April 25, 2008 08:03 PMMay I suggest the Citrus Blossom Gin Fizz found on epicurious.com, refreshing, delicious and a great way to start a hot day. Of course, as the morning goes on the recipe will begin to vary.
