In this episode of the podcast we sip on a delightfully tangy gin and champagne treat called the French 75. This cocktail, named in honor of the French 75-millimeter light field gun (a fast and deadly weapon used during WWI), was quite the hit in France in the late 40s and early 50s the time when STEPHANIE’s scandal would start in Italy and be pushed out to the rest of Europe.
