What Is A Spritzer
So what makes a spritzer a spritzer? A wine spritzer is a light cocktail in which wine is mixed with club soda and served over ice. The soda water lightens up the wine and adds carbonation. The most basic wine spritzer ingredients are wine, club soda, and ice. To put it in more simple terms —it’s a cold, sweet, yet tangy carbonated “adult” drink. I love them, and you will too!

How To Make A Berry White Wine Spritzer
Once you’ve tried this berry spritzer recipe, it just may become a go-to—even beyond the summer season. It’s so simple, tastes so amazing, and is packed with so many health benefits—here’s how you make it.
First separate your berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries) into two tall glasses and muddle them. Muddling is a technique used in drinks to gently mash herbs or fruit to release their juices. This helps the flavors to bind with the alcohol better than simply using them whole.
Next, fill your glasses with ice and add your white wine. This is also when we add our special health boosting ingredient—Super Youth Lemon Berry Passion Detox!
Finally, you’ll fill the remainder of the glass with lemon-lime soda water and garnish with a fresh lemon slice and berries! Is your mouth watering yet?
