French 75

THE LITTLE STORY

In the early 1920s, thanks to a talented bartender, Paris set the trend in cocktails. A certain Harry Mac Elhone of Harry's New York Bar on Rue Daunou created, among other things, the French 75, in reference to the French 75mm canon, which he considered "comparable" in terms of effect.
