Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsEnjoying a French 125 tonight.
Cognac, triple sec, and champagne. Its a variation on the French 75, named for, of all things, the 75mm workhorse artillery piece of the French Army during World War I.
Its good. It could hardly fail to be; cognac and champagne. Whats not to love?
Hope everyone is having a good weekend

(71,922 posts)75mm, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, and so on. Its not a hard and fast rule. There are plenty of 90mm and 105mm field pieces out there.

(71,922 posts)I sent a lot of 120mm stuff down range. But I was only ever on the receiving end of a single Scud missile. It missed.
