- 1 oz gin

Shake the gin, juice, and syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Strain into a champagne glass and top with champagne.
One more champagne drink for the new year! Blood oranges are basically the most badass of all oranges. Make your French 75 look awesome with this blood-red citrus.
I usually use Hendrick’s gin in my French 75s, but when I went to make this I discovered I was out. Waterloo is a Texas gin made by Treaty Oak and it’s pretty light on the juniper, which means it’s a very versatile gin.
