We continue our Blake Edwards run with a look at the movie everyone knows because Kurt Hummel performed Le Jazz Hot on Glee and changed lives. Anyways...it's Victor/Victoria! An incredibly fun film, it stars Julie Andrews and Robert Preston. Andrews is a struggling female soprano who finds work playing a male female impersonator, but it quickly proves to complicate her personal life. Since the film takes place in Paris it was only natural for Blake and Kate to get trashed on French 75s. Go on, join them! You know you want to. 

Ingredients:

1½ ounces gin, such as Hendrick's

¾ ounce fresh lemon juice

¾ ounce simple syrup

2 ounces Champagne

Long spiral lemon twist (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1: Combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously until outside of shaker is very cold, about 20 seconds.

Step 2: Strain cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer or a slotted spoon into a large flute. Top with Champagne; garnish with lemon twist.
