What's the go-to base liquor for a French 75?

[Coco]

Hi, cocktail crew! I'm gearing up to mix my first French 75 and hit a snag - what's the go-to base liquor? Gin, vodka, or is there another contender I'm not thinking of? Keen to get this right and impress my friends. Thanks for the help and cheers to good drinks!

The classic French 75 uses gin! Gin and lemon juice are the base for this refreshing cocktail
