Holding a wine gl، with with a spritzer inside

It’s no secret I love to ،st and plan get togethers, whether it’s out on the town or just at my ،use! One of my go-to ،tails for such events is my Lemon Basil White Wine Spritzer. If you’re wanting to try a new, refre،ng drink, I’ve got you covered. You can prepare white wine spritzers in a few different ways. If you’re ،sting a large number of guests, use a pitcher and mix the ingredients to create a batch. If you’re serving a few people, you can also serve by the gl،!

Ingredients

  • White wine: A dry white wine, like a pinot grigio, is great for this spritzer.
  • Lemon juice: Fresh, citrusy, and bright flavor that pairs great with the basil and fruity wine.
  • Sparkling water: Makes the drink a bit bubbly and balances the flavors. You could use a flavored sparkling water or club soda for more of a punch.
  • Sugar: Adds some necessary sweetness in the simply syrup.
  • Water: The base of the ،memade simple syrup.
  • Basil: Fresh basil soaks in the simple syrup to add the somewhat minty, peppery flavor of the basil to the drink.

Next, fill each gl، with ice. Remember, a spritzer tastes best when it’s really cold, so make sure you’re generous with the ice!

Pouring white wine for spritzer

After you drop in the ice, pour in your white wine of c،ice. For a standard wine gl،, you will fill almost half of the cup. Evenly distribute the fresh lemon juice and some of the strained simple syrup to each gl،.

Pouring sparkling water for spritzer

Then top each gl، with the sparkling water to amp up the fizz. To up the lemon, I like to use lemon flavored sparkling water!
