The French 77

If you’re looking for date-night drink inspo, consider this your courtside classic.

The French 77 is equal parts celebratory and effortless—crisp, bright, and perfect for Valentine’s Day at home. Shake one up before dinner or toast to love (and a little competition) after!

What you’ll need:
• 1 oz gin
• 1 oz grapefruit juice (strained)
• 1 oz simple syrup (2:1 water to sugar; this is optional—we didn't use it!)
• ⅓–½ oz rose water (to taste; potency varies by brand)
• Sparkling rosé, to float

How to make it:
Shake the gin, grapefruit juice, simple syrup, and rose water with ice. Strain into a chilled coupe, gently float sparkling rosé on top, and serve immediately.

Equal parts elegant and unexpected. Just the way we like it! Cheers!
