The Lone Ranger cocktail recipe is a French 75 in disguise: It swaps in tequila for the gin and goes pink with brut rosé.

Ingredients

Ice cubes
1-1/2 ounces blanco tequila
1 ounce lemon juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup
2 ounces sparkling rosé wine
Lemon wheel, for garnish

Directions

Fill a large stemless wine glass with ice cubes.
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Add tequila, lemon juice and simple syrup; shake until well chilled. Strain mixture into the prepared wine glass. Top with sparkling rosé.
Score the lemon wheel halfway to the center; place it on the edge of the glass. Serve immediately.

A Lone Ranger is basically a French 75 with a twist. It uses tequila instead of gin, and brut rosé instead of champagne. A little bit of lemon and a drop of sweetness finish off this super sassy sipper. —Kate McKiernan, Chicago, Illinois
