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.
