  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle red wine (any kind, approximately 750 ml)
  • 1 liter sprite
  • Ice as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Glasses: Fill each glass completely with ice to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
  2. Add Red Wine: Pour the red wine into each glass until it is half full, allowing the rich, fruity character of the wine to be the base of the spritzer.
  3. Top with Sprite: Add sprite to fill the remaining half of the glass, introducing a sweet and bubbly contrast that lightens the drink.
  4. Mix Gently: Stir the contents gently to combine the flavors without losing the carbonation from the sprite.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the red wine spritzer cold for the best refreshing experience.

Notes

  • You can vary the type of red wine based on your preference—lighter wines like Pinot Noir create a softer spritzer, while fuller-bodied wines like Merlot offer deeper flavors.
  • Swap sprite with club soda or tonic water for a less sweet version.
  • Add a slice of lime or lemon wedge to garnish and add a citrus note.
  • Adjust the ratio of wine to sprite depending on your desired strength.
