Cocktail Description

The 75 Cocktail is where French orchards meet English gardens in a glass, creating a sophisticated yet approachable cocktail that defies expectations.

This elegant creation balances the rich apple notes of aged Calvados with the botanical complexity of London Dry gin, while grenadine adds subtle pomegranate sweetness and color. The absinthe provides just enough anise character to intrigue without overwhelming, amplified by the aromatic star anise garnish. Despite its complex ingredient list, the 75 Cocktail is surprisingly straightforward to prepare—just a good shake and fine strain delivers a silky, balanced sipper. It makes an excellent aperitif for fall and winter gatherings, though its bright profile works year-round for cocktail enthusiasts seeking something different. The drink pairs beautifully with savory charcuterie, especially dishes featuring pork or duck, as the fruit notes complement rich meats while the herbal elements cut through fatty flavors.
