French 95
The French 95 is a fun twist on the classic French 75 (gin + lemon juice + champagne). The French 95 is like a mimosa with bourbon. Running the orange peel around the stem of the glass will infuse the stem with a bit of orange aroma that will get on your fingers when you drink the cocktail. You will pick up the scent from your fingers as you drink your cocktail.
