French 75

Kerry Grant
The French 75 is named for a gun used by the French in World War I. It certainly does pack a wallop, but don't let the warlike name fool you. This is pure refreshment, and it's perfect for those brunchy moments we all enjoy so much.
It's not clear whether the first French 75 was made using cognac or gin, but since I am such a gin lover that's what you're getting from me. If you prefer cognac, try it out!

Notes

I used dry prosecco to calculate my nutritional information here, to keep the carb count as low as possible. Feel free to check around for the lowest-carb sparkling wine you can find.
