How I'm Spending My Labor Day! | Sips & Songs | The Caroline Doll
Happy Labor Day, Dolls! I am keeping it short and sweet today. Like summer, itself, Labor Day always has a way of coming and going so quickly. I hope you all are able to relish what is looked at as the final day of summer. (Sorry, that sounds a little foreboding!) All that to say, I truly hope you are able to rest and rejuvenate today, sweet Dolls.
I am spending the day in my favorite way. All I need is a body of water (this year we are at the lake!), my fur babies, and my husband, Costa, and I am a happy Doll! Oh, and a few of my favorite songs and my favorite cocktail!

French 75 Cocktail
What you'll need:
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Champagne or sparkling wine
- Garnish: long thin lemon spiral and/or cocktail cherry
Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Shake gin, lemon juice, and sugar in a cocktail shaker until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into a champagne flute.
Top with Champagne. Stir gently, garnish with a long, thin lemon spiral and a cocktail cherry.
Enjoy, dolls! This simple drink has been one of my favorites for years. Fun fact: I always order a French 75 at a new restaurant and every single time the bartender brings it to me with their own twist on it! So, have fun and put your own twist on this fun cocktail!
