The French Filly

Cocktail Name: "The French Filly"

Bartender: Elise Cordell - Pernod Ricard

I wanted to do a take on a French 75, which is often a signature cocktail for Maison Mumm because it’s incredibly versatile. My goal here was to marry some of the flavors of the Oaks Lily with a French 75, leaning into the traditions of Oaks Day by using G.H. Mumm Grand Cordon Rosé and complimenting it with the complex flavors of the Rabbit Hole Bespoke Gin. Lemon juice keeps the cocktail bright and fresh, while the orange liqueur nods to the traditional Oaks Lily and adds a bit of richness to the flavor profile. The cranberry simple syrup also nods to the Oaks Lily, and adds a bit of tart (or crunchy) fruit, which is reminiscent of the aromas of the champagne. The combination of botanicals, citrus, and effervescence makes for a delicious afternoon.
