Bitter French

  This cocktail is a sort of marriage between a French 75 (a classic drink that combines gin, citrus, and Champagne) and a Negroni, created by New York bartender Phil Ward.

  

Ingredients

1 ounce Plymouth gin

  1⁄4 ounce Campari

  1⁄2 ounce fresh lemon juice

  1⁄2 ounce simple syrup (1:1 sugar:water)

  Champagne

  Garnish: 1 grapefruit twist

  Shake the gin, Campari, lemon juice, and simple syrup with ice, then strain into a chilled champagne flute. Top with champagne. Squeeze the grapefruit twist over the drink, then discard.
