What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)
Sauvignon Blanc or another crisp white wine
Club soda for refreshing bubbles
Frozen pink lemonade concentrate for tangy sweetness
Simple syrup to balance flavors
Fresh lemon slices for bright citrus notes
Ripe strawberries and raspberries for natural fruit essence
Pro Tips Before You Start
Chill your ingredients—cold wine and soda preserve fizz longer.
Gently stir—overmixing flattens carbonation, so combine slowly.
Muddle fruits briefly—let berries release just enough juice without turning mushy.
Prep simple syrup ahead (equal parts sugar and water boiled then cooled) for convenience.
How to Make Your Spritzer
Step 1: Whisk the Base
In a large pitcher, whisk together frozen pink lemonade concentrate and simple syrup until smooth.
Step 2: Blend with Wine
Pour in the Sauvignon Blanc and gently stir to combine, ensuring the lemonade mixture dissolves fully into the wine.
Step 3: Add Fruit & Muddle
Toss in lemon slices, strawberry slices, and raspberries.
Let the mixture sit 10–15 minutes so the fruit flavors infuse the wine.
Step 4: Finish with Fizz
Just before serving, stir in club soda and a generous handful of ice.
Give one gentle stir to incorporate the bubbles.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Pour into glasses, making sure to include a good mix of fruit, and serve immediately.
What to Serve It With
Goat cheese crostini for creamy contrast
Grilled shrimp skewers to echo the citrus notes
Light garden salad with a citrus vinaigrette
Fruit skewers for even more berry fun
Variations / Substitutions
Wine swap: Try a dry rosé or Pinot Grigio for a different profile.
Mixer change: Use flavored sparkling water (like lemon or berry) instead of club soda.
Fruit twist: Add peaches or blueberries in place of some berries.
Lower alcohol: Reduce wine by half and double the soda for a lighter spritzer.
Storage & Leftovers
Refrigerate in the pitcher, covered, for up to 4 hours—add soda fresh before serving.
Stir gently before serving to redistribute settled fruit and syrup.
Do not pre-mix soda if storing; add it when ready to serve to preserve fizz.
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes—mix wine, lemonade, and fruit up to 4 hours ahead, then add ice and soda just before serving.
What if I don’t have simple syrup?
Stir in ¼ cup granulated sugar per batch and whisk until fully dissolved, though it may take longer.
Can I use fresh lemonade instead?
You can—substitute 1 cup fresh pink lemonade, but adjust simple syrup to taste since sweetness varies.
Is this recipe vegan?
Yes—just ensure your wine is labeled vegan, as some use animal-based fining agents.
How do I keep the spritzer cold?
Chill all ingredients and glasses ahead, and use large ice cubes to slow dilution.
