Hen’s French 75 - Day 3 of our 12 Days of Cocktails!

The holiday season is the perfect time to enjoy a classic cocktail with a festive twist, and Day 3 of our 12 Days of Cocktails is ready to deliver. Whether you’re hosting a cozy holiday gathering or celebrating a quiet evening at home, a sparkling drink like this one adds an extra touch of magic to the moment.

Inspired by “Three French Hens” from The Twelve Days of Christmas, we’ve created Hen’s French 75—a holiday spin on the timeless French 75. It’s bright, citrusy, and elevated with a seasonal hint of cinnamon that makes it feel just right for this time of year.

A Toast Worth Clucking About

The French 75 is a classic for a reason—its simple elegance and perfect balance make it a go-to cocktail for celebrations. Our version stays true to its roots with gin, lemon juice, and sparkling wine, but adds a cozy twist with cinnamon-infused simple syrup. This touch of warmth complements the drink’s brightness, making it feel just as at home at a holiday party as it does during a relaxed evening by the fire.

With its golden hue and sparkling effervescence, Hen’s French 75 captures the joy of the season. A lemon twist or cinnamon stick garnish adds just the right festive flair, making it a visual and flavorful delight.

Featuring Brighton Gin

At the heart of Hen’s French 75 is Brighton Gin, a standout spirit that embodies quality and care. Handcrafted in small batches on England’s southern coast, Brighton Gin is known for its crisp, citrus-forward profile and smooth finish. It’s the perfect base for this cocktail, adding depth and balance to every sip.

Brighton Gin also reflects values worth toasting this season—sustainability, community, and artistry. By choosing brands like this, you’re supporting creators who pour their passion into every bottle.

This holiday season, let’s celebrate the moments that bring us together—big or small. Cocktails like Hen’s French 75 remind us that the simplest traditions, with a touch of sparkle, can feel extraordinary. Gather your loved ones, share the warmth of the season, and toast to the joy of connection and creativity.

Stay tuned as we continue to unveil more festive cocktails and mocktails in our 12 Days of Cocktails series.

Cheers to celebrating the season, one delicious sip at a time!

Because Diversity is the taste of life®!
