Story
The Moment
There are moments that don’t need much introduction. They just feel like something worth raising a glass to.
A late afternoon that turns into evening without anyone noticing. A table that slowly fills with friends. A quiet achievement that deserves to be acknowledged, even if only in a small way.
The Black Fox 75 has always belonged to moments like these.
Bright citrus, fine bubbles, and a gentle lift from Black Fox Canadian Gin come together in a drink that feels both elegant and easygoing. It doesn’t ask for ceremony—but it happily joins one.
The Spirit Connection
Black Fox Canadian Gin brings clarity and structure to this classic cocktail, allowing lemon and sparkling wine to shine while holding everything together with quiet confidence.
Crafted from spicy triticale, calendula flowers, and rhubarb grown on our Canadian prairie soil, our gin is distilled with a careful hand to preserve clarity. The careful balance of fifteen fruits, flowers, and spices adds depth without weight. It lifts the citrus, softens the edges, and lets the sparkle feel intentional rather than sharp.
This is what makes the Black Fox 75 work so well—it’s built on restraint, not excess.
Glassware & Garnish
Glassware: Flute or coupe glass. Garnish: Lemon twist.
Make It Your Own
This is a cocktail that adapts beautifully to the occasion:
- Make it drier: reduce simple syrup slightly for a more crisp finish
- Make it softer: add a touch more syrup or use a demi-sec sparkling wine
- Add floral notes: a dash of elderflower liqueur works beautifully
- Turn it into a spritz: serve over ice in a wine glass for a more relaxed feel
- Batch for celebrations: pre-mix gin, lemon, and syrup—top with sparkling wine just before serving
- Non-alcoholic version: use a botanical zero-proof spirit and alcohol-free sparkling wine
However you serve it, it keeps its sense of occasion.
