Nutrition values are calculated estimates for the listed ingredients, preparation, and serving size. Ingredient brands, substitutions, preparation, and serving size can change the result.

Not reliably estimated: Added sugar — Tesco Finest Prosecco DOC Brut, 10.5% ABV does not report added sugar. Other displayed values remain estimates from their cited records.

Calculation assumptions

This stated prosecco variation counts one ounce 40% ABV gin, half an ounce each lemon juice and 1:1 syrup, and three ounces Tesco Finest Prosecco DOC Brut at 10.5% ABV. Prosecco added sugar is not declared; garnish and ice are excluded.

Serving basis: The calculated batch is divided into 1 equal serving.

Finished yield: 5 fl oz before shaking dilution.

Estimated alcohol: about 1.2 U.S. standard drinks. Approximately 117 calories come from ethanol at 7 kcal per gram.

Method: Nutrition is estimated from listed mass quantities or the stated label-volume basis, preparation, and cited composition data. A label-volume equivalent is not a measured gram weight. Actual values vary by brand, produce size, preparation method, and serving yield.

Quality check: database or declared-label energy is checked against macro-derived energy. Variances above 8% are blocked for review unless a documented food-specific or rounding explanation has been approved.

Sugar checkThe syrup supplies known added sugar. The prosecco declares total sugar but not its added-sugar share, so the complete added-sugar total is unavailable.

Easy swaps

Use a dry brut Champagne for the traditional sparkling wine; its alcohol and sugar must be calculated from that bottle.
Reduce syrup by a teaspoon if the sparkling wine is softer or sweeter.

Mixpert tips

Pour wine down the side of the flute to limit foam overflow.
Serve as soon as it is topped; carbonation is central to this cocktail.

French 75 FAQs

Can I make a French 75 without simple syrup?

You can, but fresh lemon and dry prosecco will make the drink noticeably sharper. Shake the gin and lemon with ice, then taste before topping with sparkling wine; if needed, add a smaller measured amount of syrup. Any change alters the listed sugar and nutrition.

Does a French 75 need Champagne?

Champagne is traditional. A dry brut prosecco makes a practical variation with its own flavor and nutrition profile.

Why shake before adding the wine?

Shaking chills the gin sour; sparkling wine goes in afterward so its bubbles survive.
