Cocktails & Clothes: Bridgerton Made Me Do It

I did it. I binge-watched Bridgerton, and it was good. I was a bit confused about how scandalous (Shonda!) people were saying it was, but the last period piece I watched was Harlots so... Anyway, I regret nothing, and it inspire this fancy edition of Cocktails and Clothes. The dress is from Sachin & Babi, and while its not exactly in the style of Bridgerton, I loved the high-low hem, pockets and pink and green floral pattern. Who says you can’t wear the dress even though you have absolutely nowhere to go?

The French 75 is named after a gun, and I’m guessing it has something to do with how it hits you like heavy artillery. This classic champagne  cocktail is bubbly and tart with just a hint of sweetness. It definitely goes down way too easyily, but don’t forget about that sneaky shot of gin in there. To that point, I actually don’t mind a little extra gin, just to remind me…

French 75
1 oz. St. George Botanivore gin
1/2 oz. lemon juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
Top with Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs 

Combine gin, lemon juice and simple syrup in a champagne flute, top with champagne. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Cheers!
