French for Spring: Let's have a Spring Refresh of French 75

A twist on a classic is always good to change things up. This Spring I'm feeling pretty green. I love when the season changes and all the flowers open up. We are finally in May! This pretty green champagne cocktail is perfect for a Spring day. A good afternoon tea cocktail or a garden party. It's fancy and bright. Cucumber acts like a good hydrator that works with most snacks and meals and cocktails.
