How to Make a Cultured French 75 Cocktail

Did you use my recipe to make Probiotic Grape Soda? It’s so sweet and crisp it’s hard to believe this grape soda is a health tonic! It’s made with organic ingredients and is full of beneficial bacteria and hydrating electrolytes.

Cultured grape soda also makes a fun, probiotic mixer for grown-up drinks, like this concord grape French 75. Concord grapes are that perfect bridge between summer and fall and I adore the delicious and unique way they give new life to this classic cocktail.

The beneficial bacteria in fermented beverages are said to help to buffer the effects of alcohol on the liver and the hydrating qualities of electrolytes & B vitamins produced during fermentation make a hangover far less likely.

Cultured French 75 Ingredients:

• 1 lemon for zest and juice
• 3 T gin (1 ½ ounces)
• ½ tsp. St. Germain elderflower liqueur
• ½ T lemon juice (3/4 ounce)
