Story about French 76

The French 76 is a classic cocktail, born from the original French 75 during World War I when American soldiers wanted to kick their champagne up a notch. The strong taste of vodka is cut by tangy lemon juice, balanced with a hint of sweet simple syrup, all topped up with sparkling champagne. The outcome is an elegant, fizzy and slightly sweet drink with a kick.
