In an ice-filled shaker, combine the vermouth, shrub and lemon juice. Cover and shake vigorously until well chilled. If serving over ice, fill a Collins glass with ice and strain the cocktail into the glass. If forgoing the ice, strain into a Nick and Nora or coupe glass. Top with Champagne and finish with the lemon twist.
Although this drink is touted as having low ABV, I note that it what the NIH calls one standard drink; i.e., it has 0.6 ounces (18cc) of alcohol. This puts it on a par with can of regular Budweiser, a five oz. glass of wine, or a 1.5oz jigger of 40% ABV whiskey (what used to be called 80 proof). Your classic French 75 recipe isn't much stronger at about 1.25% of a standard drink.
The point is, the normal 75 hits you like a 75mm shell. Presumably, this won’t.
Bet it would be lovely with Lillet, too.
Yum. The shrub makes this really special. Will be making this on the regular.
is there a extra high ABV? asking for a friend?
I'm guessing ABV has something to do with how much alcohol is in it. There's certainly more than enough to make it an alcoholic drink, and if it's being presented as a low-alcohol drink - uh-uh.

Better to call it lower-ABV as it has half the alcohol as a normal French 75 but still enough alcohol to be considered a standard alcoholic drink.
