The story
Born in the bars of Paris.
Paris · 1922
First written down
It first appears in print as the “75” in Harry MacElhone’s 1922 cocktail book, written by the bartender of Paris’s Harry’s New York Bar. Who invented it is still debated.
From Paris to the world
Gin, lemon and bubbles
The gin, lemon and champagne version travelled across Europe, all the way into the famous Savoy Cocktail Book of 1930, which warned that it “hits with remarkable precision.”
Ours keeps the crisp gin, bright lemon and lively sparkle — just a little gentler, at 5.9%.
