The Five O'Clock: Greyhound 75

The Greyhound 75 is a fun play on the classic French 75, which originated in Paris in the 19th century and became popular in the Roaring 20s.

While the older version combines champagne, gin, lemon, and sugar, it's 2021 and we might be thirsty for the intriguing tang of pamplemousse. That’s French for grapefruit, and it’s fun to say. Because le pamplemousse brings a bit more sweetness than the usual lemon, we cut back on the sugar here.

Salut!
