Equipment
- Highball Glass if more preferred
Ingredients
- 4 oz Red Wine
- 4 oz Club Soda or Sprite
Instructions
- Choose Your Wine:
- Select a red wine you enjoy drinking. A lighter red like Pinot Noir or a chilled Beaujolais works wonderfully because they are fruity and light, complementing the fizz.
- Add Ice:
- Fill a large wine glass or a highball glass halfway with ice cubes. This helps keep the drink cool and refreshing.
- Pour the Wine:
- Add the red wine over the ice, filling the glass to about halfway.
- Top with Soda:
- Complete the other half of the glass with your choice of Club Soda for a less sweet drink or Sprite for a sweeter, more aromatic spritzer.
- Stir Gently:
- Use a spoon or a straw to gently stir the mixture, combining the wine with the soda without losing too much carbonation.
- Garnish (Optional):
- For a touch of extra flavor and a decorative look, garnish with a slice of lime, lemon, or a few raspberries or blackberries.
- Serve Immediately:
- Enjoy your Red Wine Spritzer immediately to make the most of the fizz and chill.
