Summer of Gin II

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.

It's 42 degrees and has been raining pretty much constantly for the last two days here. Summer's still a ways off...

Well it's sunny and warm in Miami (as always) and I am a big fan of gin - so I say bring it on!!!

May 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.
