Wine spritzers make a great low-ABV beverage option. They can be made using any chilled white and a bubbly soda like club, tonic or citrus sparkling soda. These are great drinks to enjoy during summer activities like picnics or BBQs.
You can make Spritzers with any white wine - sweet or dry - and almost any combination of ingredients. They're especially refreshing on hot summer days and are perfect for those who enjoy wine but don't want to overindulge in alcohol.
A classic drink, a spritzer is made by mixing equal parts white wine and sparkling water. It is often garnished with fresh fruit or a citrus slice. The perfect cocktail to enjoy on a warm day, it can be tailored with various flavors, garnishes and other ingredients.
This cocktail is easy to make, and requires only two ingredients: club soda or soda water and wine. The addition of fresh fruit makes this a light summery drink that is perfect for outdoor activities and parties.
The best spritzers should be made with a light wine, like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or dry Riesling. These wines are light in flavor and have notes of lime or citrus.
If you do not have any wine with these characteristics, make your spritzer using any fruity or white wine. It is best to choose a lighter-bodied wine. Add a splash or two of elderflower liqueur, or Angostura bitters for a little extra flavor.
Bitters and liqueurs add complexity to the spritzer and go well with wines such as Gruner Veltliner. You can also sprinkle a few herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, to the drink for additional aroma.
You can add a touch of sweetness to your wine spritzer by adding a dash of lemon or lime juice, or a bit of grapefruit juice. Be aware that adding liqueur and citrus juice to your wine will increase its alcohol content.
Do not swap your diet soda to a spritzer. This is because the artificial sweeteners that are in the majority of commercially-available diet drinks can mask the delicate nuances found in wine and citrus. Also, they can be a touch too sweet for your tastes and result in a sour-tasting drink that doesn't feel very refreshing.
A spritzer goes great with many drinks and foods. It's also light and refreshing. They pair well grilled or roasted foods and vegetables, as well as a wide variety of appetizers.
Spritzers have become the most popular summer drink. And they are so easy-to-make that you can host a Wine Spritzer Bar in your next party. For a refreshing and crowd-pleasing beverage, make sure you have plenty of wine, soda, ice and seasonal fruits.
