Czech 75

1 oz Becherovka
1 oz Lime juice
1 oz Ginger syrup (House ginger 1:1 syrup)
3 oz Prosecco (to top)
Instructions

Shake the lime, Becherovka, and syrup on half a tin of ice.
Strain into a flute
Add the prosecco.

History

This riff on French 75 is just as easy to make. However, the original idea came from the Orange-Cinnamon Amaro Spritz by Lucy Simon, published on November 2024 in Food & Wine. As I tried to replace the Montenegro with different Amari, after some experimentation, I arrived at this delicious recipe.
