The French 75 has been ringing in the holidays since the 1920s (and maybe earlier) and has always had a festive kick. Yet even it could use a splash of Christmas color! Pomegranate French 75 combines the bubbling, boozy, heady champagne and gin brew with the sweet and vibrant tartness of pomegranate juice.
