Spice 75 Cocktail
A refined variation of the classic French 75, the Spice 75 cocktail is positioned within the champagne-cocktail category. This version replaces the traditional gin and adds grounded spice, resulting in a distinct profile whose conceptual roots can be traced to Caribbean beverages, where the use of rum and aromatic spice is a defining characteristic of the region’s mixology tradition. The drink offers a structured balance of elegance and complexity while the use of champagne maintains its effervescent nature similar to the classic.

Tips & Suggestions
