The French 75 Cocktails origins are a bit unknown. One of the first recorded recipes comes from The Savoy Cocktail Book, but the true nature of its origins, are slightly muddled. In 1926, Scot Harry MacElhone, the owner of Harry's American Bar in Paris, named the drink. The inspiration for the title was after a 75 mm Howitzer field gun which was used by both the French and the Americans in World War 1. The gun was known for its accuracy and speed, and the French 75 is s...aid to have such a kick that it felt like being hit by such a weapon. Harry never claimed the drink as his own, instead citing Macgarry of Buck's Club in London as being the first to create the drink. The cocktail’s history delves back further than the 1920s Charles Dickens used to feed Tom gin and champagne cups to his callers in as far back as 1867 and there are many stories from the 19th Century of noble gentlemen, like the Prince of Wales, enjoying similar concoctions. We may never know the true origins of the drink, but we can definitely enjoy it! #paris #france #french75 #champagne #gin #travel #wanderlust #passport #traveladvisor #ensembletravel
