The famed Waldorf Astoria, in New York City created this liquid version you to enjoy this holiday season.

French 75

French 75

Rob Palmer / Photolibrary / Getty Images

The story of the French 75 goes back to around 1915 when Harry MacElhone created in at the New York Bar in Paris. It was brought to the U.S. by returning World War I pilots and became a popular drink at New York City's Stork Club. The name comes from a 75mm French field gun that was said to have the same kick as the drink.

At some point in its early history this drink was made with Cognac in place of the gin and there is some question as to which version is the real French 75, but gin is the more common now. To add another twist, if the same drink is made with vodka for the base spirit, it is a French 76.






Ingredients:
1 ounce gin or cognac
1/2 ounce Contreau orange liqueur
1@ ounce lemon juice
Champagne

Pour the lemon juice, gin and Contreau into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.

Highball Recipe

Highball. Photo Courtesy: © Shannon Graham

Every aspiring professional bartender should put this easy highball on their list of drinks to memorize. It is, quite simply, whiskey and ginger ale and is a fantastic, refreshing way to enjoy any style of whiskey you choose. Rye, Canadian, or bourbon whiskies work very well.

This mixed drink should not be confused with the class of drinks called "highballs." Those include most tall drinks with a base spirit and one or two non-alcoholic mixers. Not to be too confusing, a Highball is a "highball" and is served in a highball glass.






Ingredients:
2 ounces Whiskey
Ginger Ale

Preparation:
Fill a highball glass with ice.
Pour the whiskey into the glass.
Top with Ginger Ale
