Background & History
"In my play on the French 75, I make it more about the gin and less about citrus. Grapefruit and maple syrup work so well together." - Alex Day, Death & Co
Notes & Review
The grapefruit and maple do play well together in this riff on the French 75. This drink is reasonably dry too for a Royale and the gin does come through quite a bit.
