Happy Mother's Day, Fellow Skate Moms

I'm sharing my favorite cocktail recipe; French 75, named after the gun, which we may find we want sometimes at the rink.

  • 2 oz. Gin
  • 1 oz. simple syrup (or 2 tsp. superfine sugar)
  • 1 oz. lemon juice
  • Brut Champagne or other dry sparkling wine
  • Combine gin, sugar, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into an iced highball or collins glass. Fill with Champagne. Garnish with a twist of lemon. 


    I thought about writing some fancy toast we could share, but when you start to tally all that a skate mom does, it gets unwieldy. So, from Tot to Freestyle Whatever, here's to you, Skate Mom.
