FRENCH 75 BAR

The French 75 was a huge WWI artillery gun that packed a wallop. According to cocktail lore, a Franco American fighter pilot who was in need of a little kick in his bubbly to bolster his bravery, mixed cognac with his champagne and Viola! The French 75 Champagne Cocktail was born.

The L&E French 75 Champagne cocktail is made with Marie Framboise, a cognac distilled with raspberry juice, and then finished with a lemon twist. Nightly, behind the marble topped bar, Chester native and mixologist Peter Marshall serves dinner, cocktails and his special Martinis to a loyal following.

The L& E wine list is diverse, representing value and hard to find bottling from as far away as Uruguay and as close as Stonington, CT and has the most extensive selection of William Selyem wines to be found on the East Coast.
