Most people think nothing of popping a bottle of Champagne on New Year's Eve. Yet after that first celebratory glass, few consider taking an extra step and using the wine as the foundation for a cocktail or two. "They're bright and crisp and delicious," said Meaghan Dorman, a bartender at Raines Law Room in the Flatiron District. And ideal for New Year's Eve. "They are usually low in spirit, so if I'm out having a few drinks, I would have French 75s. It's wine and spirit, so I'd feel I wasn't overdoing it on superstrong spirit drinks." She and her fellow bartender Lauren Davis call this judicious drinking tactic the Champagne Maintain. "It's our theory on lasting all night and still staying a lady," Ms. Dorman said.

Drinkers who know and love the French 75 have strong personal preference on whether to use gin or cognac as the base. This classic recipe offers both options. Pour what you like, or, if you're on the fence, let season or mood determine your choice. Gin tends toward a cleaner, more botanical, refreshing drink, ideal for warmer weather drinking; cognac lends heft and weight, especially great in cooler weather.

This recipe is from Eben Freeman, bartender of Tailor Restaurant in New York City. The drink tastes best when served very cold, so Freeman recommends making sure the glass and the sparkling wine are well chilled.
