The Magnotta 75
The Magnotta 75 is a crisp, aromatic tribute to the classic French 75, reimagined with a local craft twist. By utilizing Magnotta Premium Hopped Gin, this cocktail introduces a unique botanical complexity and a delicate citrus-forward bitterness that traditional gins lack. Named as a nod to the winery’s flagship heritage, it is a sophisticated sparkling cocktail that highlights the elegance of Magnotta’s 1925 collection.
Ingredients:
1 oz Magnotta Premium Hopped Gin
0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
0.5 oz Simple Syrup
3 oz 1925 Sparkling Wine (Chardonnay or Vidal)
Garnish: Lemon twist
Preparation
1. Combine the hopped gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Shake vigorously until well-chilled.
3. Strain into a chilled flute or coupe glass.
4. Top with your choice of 1925 Chardonnay or 1925 Vidal.
5. Twist the lemon peel over the glass to release the oils, then drop it in.
The Sparking Profile
You can tailor the Magnotta 75 by selecting one of these two premium bases:
- 1925 Chardonnay: This version is the pinnacle of elegance. The Chardonnay’s natural acidity and clean finish provide a sharp, refreshing backbone that lets the floral notes of the hopped gin shine.
- 1925 Vidal: This selection offers a slightly rounder mouthfeel and lush fruit notes. The Vidal’s character softens the zest of the lemon, resulting in a smoother, more succulent cocktail.
