recipe inspiration for this drink concoction began with the impending celebration of france's bastille day. my dear friend karen resides in paris and well in her honor i celebrate bastille day. any excuse to have a party.

1. fill a cocktail shaker with cracked ice and add 1 jigger (3 tbsp) of hendrick's gin, 3 tbsp  simple syrup and 3 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice. shake mixture vigorously. strain evenly into 3 (6 oz) high ball glasses packed with ice. top glass with chilled champagne.
