You can easily make wine spritzers with chilled white wines and sparkling beverages like club soda, sparkling citrus soda or tonic water. These are great drinks to enjoy during summer activities like picnics or BBQs.
They can be made using almost any kind of white wine, sweet or dry. They're especially refreshing on hot summer days and are perfect for those who enjoy wine but don't want to overindulge in alcohol.
A classic drink, a spritzer is made by mixing equal parts white wine and sparkling water. It is often garnished with fresh fruit or a citrus slice. It's the perfect cocktail for a warm summer day and can be customized with different flavors, garnishes and ingredients.
The easiest cocktail you can make is made with only two ingredients - wine and club soda, or soda water. The addition of fresh fruit makes this a light summery drink that is perfect for outdoor activities and parties.
The best spritzers are made with a wine that has light, refreshing qualities such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio or dry Riesling. These wines are light and flavorful, with notes of lime or lemon.
If you don't own a wine with those qualities, use any white or fruity variety of wine. Preferably, it should be a light- to mediumweight wine. You can also add elderflower liquor or Angostura to the mix to give it a different flavor.
Liqueurs, bitters and other liqueurs can add an extra layer of complexity and taste to a spritzer. They are particularly good when paired with a mild wine like Gruner Veltliner. You can also sprinkle a few herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, to the drink for additional aroma.
You can add a touch of sweetness to your wine spritzer by adding a dash of lemon or lime juice, or a bit of grapefruit juice. You should be aware that adding more liqueur, or juices like grapefruit and lemon will increase the alcohol content of your wine.
Avoid substituting diet soda with a spritzer. The powerful artificial sweeteners found in many commercially available diet beverages can overpower the subtle nuances of wine and citrus. They also can be a little too sweet for your taste and can leave you with a sour drink that is not very refreshing.
A spritzer is an excellent summer drink because it's light, refreshing and tastes great with many foods and beverages. These drinks pair well with grilled and roasted vegetables, meats, and a variety of appetizers.
Spritzers have become the most popular summer drink. And they are so easy-to-make that you can host a Wine Spritzer Bar in your next party. You'll need a selection of wines, some soda and ice as well as seasonal fruit to make a refreshing drink that will please everyone.

How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is typically served in chilled glasses. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
A martini can be served with two olives. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. 1 ounce vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
