French 68

A bright, bubbly twist on the French 75 that pairs apple-forward Calvados and a touch of brandy with lemon and a whisper of grenadine for a subtly sweet, rosy sparkle. Served in a flute and topped with Champagne, it looks elegant and drinks light but layered, great for celebratory toasts or as an aperitif.

  • 0.75 oz Calvados
  • 1 dash Grenadine
  • 1 dash Sugar Syrup
