Iirc it's French when you use bourbon or cognac instead of gin. I want to try it with d'usse.

They called it a French 75 where I had it, and it was made with gin, but the bartender mentioned it could be made with cognac.

***googles D'Usse*** lol

The description of the bouquet with woody notes, ripe blackberry and apricot, layered with hints of dark chocolate and walnut - sounds beautiful. I like reading about liquor more than drinking it. Really, the descriptions of some cocktails are gorgeous - and I love to watch them being made! It's an art form.

Don't you think you should slow down a bit, Paul?
