FAQs

What are the ingredients of a spritzer? ›

There are only 2 main ingredients in a White Wine Spritzer... white wine and sparkling water. I like to load mine up with plenty of lemon and mint to make it feel a tiny bit fancy but that's it!

Can you use tonic water in a wine spritzer? ›

When most people make wine spritzers, they use regular soda or sparkling water. However, if you're making a wine spritzer with a drier wine, you might consider using tonic water or lemonade. These sodas add a bit more flavour and sweetness to the spritzer.

What is the best wine to use for a spritzer? ›

Any white wine will do—whether you prefer a super dry sauvignon blanc, an oaky chardonnay, or a sweet Moscato. "Personally, I like a crisp, fruit-forward wine like a pinot grigio to build a solid, flavorful foundation for my spritzers," Hoel says.

What's the difference between a spritzer and a spritzer? ›

Difference Between a Spritz and a Spritzer

A Spritz is a drink with at least three ingredients, one of which is an apéritif. They can be served over ice or at room temperature. A spritzer is specifically wine with soda water. It's usually served in a cold, tall glass.

What is the difference between a wine spritzer and a wine cooler? ›

While traditional wine spritzers are made with club soda, coolers can be made with any carbonated beverage, including sweet sodas or tonic. The ideal combination depends on personal taste and the wine available.

Can I put sparkling water in my wine? ›

While you can vary the ratio to fit your taste and a particular wine, it's often best to begin with a 3:1 pour of 1 part soda or water for every 3 parts of wine. The white wine spritzer is an uncomplicated drink, but it's also a nice foundation for a few enhancements.

What soda goes best with wine? ›

White wines will be lovely and bright with grapefruit, lemon, peach, or pear soda. I can't quite get behind grape soda. Even though wine is made from grapes, I don't think grape soda is. The flavor simply takes over too quickly for me, but try it and see how you feel.

What is a spritzer made of? ›

A spritzer (German: [ˈʃpʁɪt͡sɐ]) is a tall, chilled drink, usually made with white wine and carbonated water or sparkling mineral water. Fermented simple syrup can be used instead of white wine to keep it sweet but flavor neutral.

What's the difference between a seltzer and a spritzer? ›

Wine Spritzers, as you can tell from the name, only get their alcohol from wine. Your average hard seltzer will use fruit- or liquor-based alcohol or malt to spike the drink. While both offer a bubbly experience, the main difference is the source of alcohol.

Are spritzers healthy? ›

That depends. In general, a wine spritzer is relatively healthy. A glass of wine is about 130 calories, and dry wine contains an average of 1.2 grams of sugar. The club soda cuts those numbers in half as long as you're not adding soda that contains sugar or any fruit juice.

What is the difference between a mist and spritzer? ›

Body sprays generally have a lower level of fragrant oils and more alcohol, whereas body mists generally have a higher level of fragrant oils.
