Elevate your cocktail game with the Dutch 75, a sophisticated twist on the classic French 75 that swaps gin for the smooth, malty richness of genever. This effervescent libation harmoniously blends the bright tang of fresh lemon juice, the subtle sweetness of simple syrup, and the crisp bubbles of dry sparkling wine, creating a perfectly balanced drink that's as refreshing as it is refined. Garnished with a fragrant lemon twist, this cocktail is as visually striking as it is delicious. Ready in just 5 minutes, the Dutch 75 is an elegant choice for celebratory toasts, dinner parties, or an indulgent nightcap. Perfect for lovers of classic yet unique cocktails, this drink captures sophisticated flavor in every sip.
Chill a champagne flute in the refrigerator or freezer while preparing the cocktail.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the genever, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
Strain the contents of the shaker into the chilled champagne flute.
Top off the drink with sparkling wine, pouring gently to prevent it from fizzing over.
Garnish with a lemon twist by holding the twist over the glass and giving it a gentle squeeze to release the oils, then dropping it into the drink.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
