Hello my fellow cocktail enthusiasts..

The French 75 is a classic cocktail and wanted to know if anyone drinks this on the regular or actually makes this? It is the cocktail of the week over at Beefeater http://www.beefeatergin.com/mixology/video.php?video=French%2075

The French 75 first made its appearance in print in the 1930 edition of Harry Craddock's famous Savoy Cocktail Book. Legend has it the cocktail was first invented by WW1 Franco-American flying ace, Raoul Lufbery. Its name comes from the fact that it has such a kick, it felt like being shelled by the French 75mm field gun.

Its awesome watching this made. Does anyone make this a different way?
