FAQs

What Is A Spritzer?

A spritzer is a popular, bubbly cocktail that’s typically made with soda and wine. This refreshing drink originated in Austria in the 19th Century. 

The name came from the German word, spritzen, which translates to spray. Mixing wine with club soda dilutes the wine down anywhere from 25-50%. 
This is a popular summertime drink, is the perfect celebratory drink, and livens up many holidays. And it’s also loved for being a low cab alcoholic beverage option.

What Kind Of Wine Do You Use?

You can use any wine you like: red, white, or rosé wine all work. This recipe uses rosé. Generally, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Noir are great choices for enjoyable spritzers too. 

What’s The Difference Between A Spritz And A Spritzer?

A typical spritzer is made with wine and soda, or a sparkling rose. A spritz, on the other hand, is made with sparkling wine, like Prosseco or Champagne, mixed with bitters and soda water.
