Earl Grey 75
Today I am sharing a twist on the classic French 75 with Plymouth Gin! Recently, I have been obsessed with Earl Grey Tea and wanted to add it to one of my cocktails. The French 75 was the perfect candidate for the addition of Earl Grey simple syrup. The perfumed Earl Grey essence adds a delicate flavor while enhancing the taste of the already wonderful French 75 cocktail. Get ready for your taste buds to explode!
