CHIVAS 75 COCKTAIL RECIPE

Sparkling - Intermediate - Champagne Flute

The Chivas 75 is a Scotch twist on a classic cognac cocktail, the French 75. This whisky cocktail combines luxurious Chivas XV, which is selectively finished in the most prized casks, with champagne for a truly celebratory drink. Finished by dropping a beautifully plump cherry into the glass, this is certainly a champagne cocktail worth toasting to.

Ingredients

[30] Chivas XV
[20] fresh lemon juice
[20] sugar syrup
Top with champagne
Fresh cherry, to garnish

How to make it

1 Add all ingredients except champagne into a shaker and fill with ice.
2 Shake hard for 10 seconds.
3 Fine strain into a champagne flute, and top with champagne.
4 Drop a cherry into the glass to garnish.
5 Serve.

Why do we shake cocktails?

Shaking whisky cocktails with ice not only dilutes the drink, but also breaks up the enzymes in citrus juice for a smoother texture.

WHISKY COCKTAIL RECIPE TIP

Wondering how to make sugar syrup? Simply heat one part sugar with one part water, and simmer together until the sugar has fully dissolved. If you like things extra sweet, use two parts sugar to one part water.
