A wine spritzer is a combination of wine and soda.They are a great way to cut calories, reduce alcohol consumption and conserve wine at parties.During the hot summer afternoons, wine spritzers are appreciated.You can whip up the cocktail in a hurry if you want to make a classic white wine spritzer, a red wine sipper, or a tasty fruity wine Sipper.
Step 1: The wine needs to be chilled thoroughly.
It is important to start with chilled white wine because you want your spritzer to be cold.If you want to make a cocktail, place it in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours or the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.When you pour the wine into the glass, it will be cold enough to frost it.
Step 2: The wine should be poured into a glass with club soda.
If the white wine is properly chilled, add 1 cup to a serving glass.Add 12 cup of cold club soda or sparkling water to the glass.Wine glasses are used to serve white wine spritzers.If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can substitute lemon lime soda or ginger beer.
Step 3: You can add a slice of lime to the spritzer.
You can slice a fresh lime after you mix the wine and club soda.If you want to serve the spritzer while it is still chilled, stick the slice on the side of the glass.
Step 4: Place ice in a glass.
It is best to use a Collins glass for red wine spritzers.Roughly halfway through the glass, add enough ice to fill it.
Step 5: The wine and club soda should be poured over the ice.
Red wine can be added with the ice in the glass.Next, fill the rest of the glass with club soda.To stir the wine and soda, use a long spoon or straw.A little simple syrup can be used to make your red wine spritzer a little sweeter.
Step 6: You can serve some raspberries with the spritzer.
Once the wine and club soda are mixed, add a few raspberries to the glass.The spritzer is still cold.It is possible to keep your spritzer cold by using frozen raspberries.If you prefer, fresh mint leaves can be used as a garnish.
Step 7: Put ice in a glass.
Depending on what type of wine you are drinking, choose a glass for the spritzer.Wine glasses and tumblers work best for white and red wine.To fill the glass halfway, add enough ice.If you cannot choose between red and white, you can use a rose wine.
Step 8: Wine, club soda, and juice should be added.
2 ounces of club soda, and 1 ounce of fruit juice of your choice, will be poured over the ice.You can mix the ingredients with a cocktail spoon.You can use any juice you want, but orange, cranberry, apple, pineapple, and pomegranate are some of the best.
Step 9: The wedge should be squeezed into the glass and stir again.
The juice from a lemon or lime wedge can be added to the mixture by squeezing it over the glass.To make sure all of the flavors are combined, stir the spritzer with the spoon again.
Step 10: You can serve it with another wedge.
A fresh lemon or lime wedge can be added to the side of the glass.The spritzer is still cold.
