📜 History

The French 75 appears in The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930) and earlier sources from the 1920s. Named for the powerful French 75mm field gun used in World War I, the cocktail packs a similar punch. The exact origin is disputed, with various claims to bars in Paris and New York during the Prohibition era.
