Questions

Can I make French 75 without alcohol?

The alcohol here is 1 1/2 oz London dry gin and 3 oz dry Champagne or Prosecco, chilled. Replace a base spirit with the same volume of a zero-proof spirit, or with chilled tea or tonic for bite; replace sparkling wine with sparkling water and a squeeze of citrus. Keep every other line as written, and expect a lighter, sweeter drink, since alcohol also carries bitterness and body.

Is French 75 low-carb?

A serving of French 75 carries 8 g of carbohydrate. Against a strict 20 g keto day that is 40 percent of the budget; against a moderate 100 g low-carb day it is 8 percent.

How many calories are in French 75?

One serving (the recipe makes 1) is about 180 calories, with 0 g protein, 8 g carbohydrate and 0 g fat, plus 20 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I batch French 75 for a group?

Yes. As written it serves 1. Halved, the gin drops from 1 1/2 oz to 3/4 oz; doubled, it is 3 oz. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To batch it for a crowd, multiply everything but add the ice only when serving.
