French 76 & Cannes Film Festival

French-76_2.jpg

With the war being waged against Netflix this year at the Cannes Film Festival, a twist on the classic French 75 is a perfect cocktail to represent the drama.

Named after the kick it gave when it was first tried, someone said it felt like being shelled by the French 75mm artillery piece. As the Cannes Festival and Netflix launch artillery back and forth, sit back and enjoy the French 76, a drink with an even bigger kick than the original.
