Waw I made it with prosecco and this was a treat :-)
I made it soon after again with another prosecco but it didn't blow me off my socks. Although the prosecco wasn't cheap, the taste wasn't great at all and spoiled the cocktail.

Does anyone have any suggestions for sparkling wines? Even better if the brand has small bottles because I'm not a professional :-)

Yes, you’re right on this so use a decent Cremant from either Alsace, Bourgogne or Loire. Or a Blanquette de Limoux; all using the méthode traditionnelle but can’t be called champagne because of the AOP. I can only comment on French regional ones because I know them best.
If not any other good quality sparkling white wine would not ruin you’re cocktail.

I use Freixenet cava, it comes in 200ml bottles. I always have those in the fridge for making single serve cocktails at home. If I am making more cocktails then I use a half bottle of Waitrose blanc de blanc champagne. I have found both of those to make delicious cocktails.

If you're in the UK, my advice is to get down to Aldi & buy a bottle of their £10 Champagne. Excellent in cocktails.

In my opinion, Prosecco tends to be too much fruity (it reminds me of pear).
If don't wan't to use champagne, you might use french Cremant wich is usually much dryer than Prosecco.
Might be hard to find depending where you are living but It's widely available here in France and quite cheap.
