How to Make A Classic White Wine Spritzer

July 26, 2020 By Juliet 17 Comments

Summer’s here and there’s nothing I enjoy more than

a refreshingwhite wine spritzer.

I’m a lightweight when it comes to alcohol,

so a spritzer is the ideal option and my go-to cocktail.

There are as many versions of a spritzer as your imagination allows. Here’s my recipe for a Classic White Wine Spritzer.

 

Classic White Wine Spritzer, serves 1

4 oz white wine, chilled
4oz fizzy water
Garnish

Mix together chilled wine and fizzy water. Pour over ice, or not, and add your favorite garnish.

 


Notes
:

When it comes to fizzy water, I prefer sparkling water, but soda water or a flavored sparking water are also great options.

Regarding garnish, let the characteristics of your wine choice dictate the appropriate garnish. I prefer a Sauvignon Blanc. New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs pair particularly well with a citrus garnish. But, don’t get caught up in all the wine snobbery gobbleygook … garnish with impunity. Citrus wheels, strawberries … Martha Stewart suggests melon balls and she’d never steer us wrong.

 

Refreshing and light … a wine spritzer is the perfect year-round cocktail!

Cheers!

    Hi Juliet,
    My drink of choice when we are out is usually a white wine spritzer! Amazing how many times I’ve had to describe exactly what I want to the server!! (Don’t get me started on what usually happens when I order a Kir Royale!)
    Good job on the new blog, and looking forward to reading more! You look so pretty in all the photos, your color scheme suites you so well!
    XO Heidi

      Heidi – you’re so sweet, thank you. My husband works in the wine industry. I used to as well. People are so snobby about wine and for so long I was embarrassed to order a spritzer. Then one day I said … no more … who cares what they think! Make mine a spritzer! And, that is how I got my name. Now, tell me … what do they do to mangle your Kir Royale?! xo

    You are going to laugh, but I forgot how much I enjoy a wine spritzer because it is such a light option, and limes are a must! I am having a social distanced girls get together tomorrow afternoon, and guess what I’m bringing!

Following a week of much sadness our family had a Following a week of much sadness our family had a fun night out to celebrate Jim's 65th birthday. It felt good to laugh, feel loved and to have honest conversation about anything and everything. 

Today on the blog it's Weekend Meanderings with Kim and Elizabeth. The tragedy in Uvalde weighs heavily on our minds and Kim has written eloquently on how we can make difference. 

As for me, I'm sharing my Cannes Film Festival experience, excitement about going to the movies this weekend, gin based spritzer and a bunch of other stuff. Including the pillows in this gorgeous photo from the Kit Kemp Collection for Annie Selkie.

I hope you'll join me, Kim and Elizabeth, today for a bit of shelter from the storm.  Links to our blogs in our profiles.

Cocktails anyone?! It’s Friday ... traditionally Cocktails anyone?! It’s Friday ... traditionally cocktail night at Snowberry. Not tonight. But not to worry, I have cocktail recipes. You know I'm all about weddings (did you read my all-secrets-revealed blog post about @zzzissou and @melodymakhfi wedding? Linked in profile. 😉.) ... so today I'm sharing recipes for Kyle and Melody's signature cocktails.

Hers - Jalapeno Margarita with a Tajin rim (a must, says the bride)

1.5 oz Blanco tequila
Juice of two limes
1 tsp Agave nectar
1 Jalapeno (seeds & ribs removed)
Tajin rimming salt
Lime wedge rim glasses
Jalapeno & lime slice for garnish

Rub lime wedge around rim of glass. Dip rim into Tajin rimming salt. And fill with ice. Muddle jalapeno in cocktail shaker. Add ice, tequila, lime juice and agave. Shake vigorously. Strain into prepared glass. Garnish with jalapeño and lime slices.

His - Old Fashioned (Jim loves an Old Fashioned too, like father like son)

1.5 oz Bourbon
1 sugar cube
A few dashes Angostura bitters
A few dashes of water
Orange slice & cocktail cherry for garnish

Place sugar cube in old fashioned glass, add bitters & water. Muddle until dissolved. Fill glass with ice. Add bourbon. Gently stir. Garnish with orange slice (or zest) and cocktail cherry.

Cheers to you, the happy couple and the weekend! 🥃

It's not too late to check out Weekend Meanderings It's not too late to check out Weekend Meanderings ... on the blog. 

This week I'm extolling the virtues of cinnamon raisin toast. But not just cinnamon raisin toast. A favorite blogger’s new book. You won't believe this but she recently bought a house in our old @myfidalgoislandhome neighborhood? A new-to-me interior design podcast. And inexpensive but well made serving platters ... essential for summer entertaining. Last but not least what my dermatologist recommended for my dry skin. 

You can follow the link in my profile over to the blog, and leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!

Good morning and happy Saturday! Yesterday was #n Good morning and happy Saturday!  Yesterday was #nationalcocktailday and I missed it. Sheesh. What I didn't miss is Weekly Meanderings, my Saturday morning roundup post with @pineconesandacorns and @northerncalstyle. The dogs are walked and its time to sit down with a glass of ice tea (@tejava is back on grocery  shelves!!!) and catch up with Elizabeth and Kim and respond to your kind comments. To read the posts, just click the link in our bios. We have so much fun with this and love and appreciate your support. 

When Jim gets back from the gym 😆 we're going on a little field trip. If you read Weekend Meanderings you can probably figure out where. 😉

Happy weekend, friends!

Holy moly … it’s 43 degrees this morning. Temp Holy moly … it’s 43 degrees this morning. Temps plummeted last night. I guess it’s a typical spring swing. I’m going to take advantage and have my  cocoa in the library. We rarely use this room which is a real shame. Our sweet pups are no longer allowed inside. Dark velvet sofas and white dogs don’t mix. Not true, they do mix … a little too well. 😒 Anyway, they whine outside the door if I go in there. Jim will distract them with toast in his office and I should be good for a short time.

Yesterday I put two open house tours on Reels. I’m still learning and forgot there’s a 60 second limit. The outdoor spaces of the cute 1929 cottage got cut off. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I used a heavier hand editing the second house so it fits … mostly. Anyway, I’m sure you appreciate a more edited version. 😆 I tend to talk, write and record more than is necessary. As Jim says, when you’ve made the sale stop talking. 🤷‍♀️ I visited a 3rd house as well and need to work on it. New open house rule … one per week! 😉

Good morning and Happy Monday! 💙
