December 8 – French "75"

The French ”75” cocktail got it’s name from the 75-millimeter field gun used by the French military during WWI. It was probably created at Henry’s Bar in Paris by Henry Tépé in 1914/15 or even earlier and was originally called ”Soixante-Quinze” (Seventy-Five) since both the drink and the field gun would knock you out flat.
The Paro glass was designed by Achille Castiglioni in 1983.
