Notes
Nutrition is an estimate for one measured cocktail, excluding uneaten lime/mint garnish. Calculation uses 111 kcal and 15.2 g carbohydrate/sugar per 1.5 fl oz elderflower liqueur from Bacardi’s St-Germain panel (two-thirds for 1 fl oz), plus approximately 60 kcal and 2 g carbohydrate for 90 ml Brut Prosecco; sparkling water contributes zero calories. Wine/liqueur brands vary; alcohol contributes calories beyond carbohydrate. Cost allocation assumes US$12/750 ml wine, US$35/750 ml liqueur, US$0.05 water and US$0.35 mint/lime, rounded.

For an alcohol-free version replace both wine and liqueur, not only one.
