As Harry Craddock explains, вЂњit hits with remarkable precision,вЂќ and I donвЂ™t think heвЂ™s talking about the gun.ДЎ ounce London Dry Gin (I prefer Beefeater)Д¬hill a champagne flute. MacElhone paid tribute to the 75-mm howitzer field gun that both the French and Americans had used to great effect, most recently during World War I. However, McGarry didnвЂ™t name the French 75 - that moniker was ascribed by Harry MacElhone, owner and proprietor of the legendary HarryвЂ™s New York Bar in Paris. McGarryвЂ™s first name is lost to history, but three of his contributions to cocktails, the French 75, Sidecar, and Mimosa (aka the вЂњBuckвЂ™s FizzвЂќ), persist.

This classic cocktail gets its name from the incredible avenue in France commonly referred to as вЂњ a plus belle avenue du mondeвЂќ or вЂњthe most beautiful avenue in the world.вЂќ The earliest reference to the cocktail is in вЂњ The Savoy Cocktail BookвЂќ published by Harry Craddock in 1930, but its history is quite murky with no real reference to its inventor. Get your bar tools ready to try one of these French-inspired cocktails below, and raise a glass with War on the Rocks and Molotov Cocktail to our friends, far across the Atlantic and yet so close to our hearts.

But at a time when the country has been wracked by such a tragedy, France also deserves for all of us to remember the wonderful gifts and ideas that Paris and France have shared and inspired, including many in the world of libations. Why? вЂњBecause if youвЂ™re in a war of culture and lifestyle with France, good fucking luck!вЂќДЇrance surely deserves our warmest condolences and our public expressions of support. On Sunday night, just two days after the horrific attacks, he argued that none of the attackersвЂ™ goals will be achieved and that France will endure.

Amid an outpouring of grief and expressions of solidarity from around the world, one message in particular stands somewhat apart - that of HBOвЂ™s John Oliver. Brazen attacks in FranceвЂ™s capital last Friday showed us once again that the worst of humanity will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
