I’m thrilled to present to you today one of my top refreshing beverage picks: the white wine spritzer. This timeless drink is ideal for hot summer afternoons and complements a wide range of meals wonderfully. What’s more, it’s remarkably simple to prepare and tailor to your own taste.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle of your favorite white wine
  • Soda water or sparkling water
  • Fresh fruit slices (lemon, lime, or berries are my go-to choices)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Start by filling your glass with ice cubes. I love using large ice cubes as they melt slower, keeping the spritzer cool without diluting it too quickly.
  2. Next, pour the white wine into the glass, filling it about halfway. I prefer using a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a light Pinot Grigio, but feel free to use your favorite white wine.
  3. Now, it’s time to add the sparkling water. I typically do a 1:1 ratio of wine to sparkling water, but adjust according to your taste. If you prefer a stronger wine flavor, add less sparkling water.
  4. Garnish your spritzer with fresh fruit slices. Not only do they add a pop of color, but they also infuse the drink with a subtle fruity flavor as you sip.
  5. Give it a gentle stir and enjoy!

Personal Touch:

One of my favorite variations is to add a splash of elderflower liqueur to the mix. It adds a delicate floral sweetness that takes the spritzer to a whole new level. Experiment with different liqueurs and fruit combinations to find your perfect blend.

Tips:

  • Chill the white wine and sparkling water beforehand to ensure a crisp and refreshing spritzer.
  • Feel free to get creative with your fruit garnishes. I often use a combination of lemon and strawberries for a vibrant and citrusy twist.
  • If you prefer a sweeter spritzer, you can add a splash of simple syrup or a sweet white wine like Riesling.
